It depends on what bootloader you are using. Recent versions
of RedHat support GRUB. In this case all you need to do is modify
/etc/grub.conf by adding something like the following:

title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Type "info grub" from the RedHat prompt to get full information
about GRUB.

Older versions use LILO. In this case modify /etc/lilo.conf to
include something similar.
