If I remember correctly the reason they say to convert the ntfs to a fat32 is because Linux will pick up a fat32 filesystem. I'm pretty sure that's the reason there, I'd more or less put money on that to.

Secondly when you boot and it goes into Mandrake from there then you edit the lilo.conf file to put in Win2k and XP. Don't forget to run lilo before you reboot to make sure it has made the changes and they work.

That should the fix your problem.

NAME
ntfslabel - display/change the label on an ntfs file system SYNOPSIS
ntfslabel [options] device [new-label] DESCRIPTION
ntfslabel will display or change the file system label on the ntfs file system located on device. If the optional argument new-label is not present, ntfslabel will simply display the current file system label. If the optional argument new-label is present, then ntfslabel will set the file system label to be new-label. NTFS file system labels can be at most 128 Unicode characters long; if new-label is longer than 128 Unicode characters, ntfslabel will truncate it and print a warning message. It is also possible to set the file system label using the -L option of mkntfs(8) during creation of the file system. OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfslabel accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g. -fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name. -f, --force This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with a mounted volume. Use this option with caution. -h, --help Show a list of options with a brief description of each one. -n, --no-action Don't actually write to disk. -q, --quiet Reduce the amount of output to a minimum. -v, --verbose Increase the amount of output that ntfslabel prints. -V, --version Show the version number, copyright and license for ntfslabel. BUGS
There are no known problems with ntfslabel. If you find a bug please send an email describing the problem to the development team: linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net AUTHORS
