Im running Dual boot too, using Win2000 and RedHat7.1. i Suggest you create the partition in Win2000 using <B>Partition Magic</B>. It quite Simple and easy to use. It also Suggest to you the Sawp partition and the boot partition to use by checking your HDD size and status automatically.
That software can be bought Commercially (suggested), it also have an option Boot magic for you to boot into win2k or linux, or you can install <B>Lilo</B when you install linux later.
Try it. trust me It really works.
