Also, when I connect the linux drive my machine boots straight to Mandrake - no windows options. Should I disconnect the windows drives, run lilo and then work with bootmanager? What is the correct sequence please?
This would be the easiest way of doing things. As you say, boot into linux, configure lilo to see all OS'es and then reboot.
BTW what sequence do you have your OS'es? Are they win2k, XP, Linux?

NTFSFIX(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSFIX(8)
NAME
ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS
SYNOPSIS
ntfsfix [options] device
DESCRIPTION
ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS
inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.
You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it can't be mounted.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix 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.
-h, --help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
-V, --version
Show the version number, copyright and license
