You need to install Lilo on the / (native Linux) partition, making sure you have MADE a boot disk. You won't be able to boot Linux without it until you "put Linux" on the W2K bootloader. You need to make a "file" called linux.bin to put in your C: drive and to edit the boot.ini file to point to that file to get a Linux option in the W2K bootloader. You can find really specific instructions here (http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00011.asp) about making the linux.bin file and what it really is. It will be easier for you to visit that site than for me to exlain it.
