I do not think it is necessary. If u are installing from the
win2000 CD. Make a partition of about 1GB (windoze2k needs about 700mb
for full installtion. Convert its type to fat16,32 or maybe ntfs using
fdisk. During installation select "choosing the partition yourself" or
something like that. and install it in the partition you have created.
Whereever asked choose to select things yourself.
Before that make a linux boot floppy using mkbootdisk or get
tomsrtbt. After the installtion of windoze boot into linux. setup LILO to
include the new OS.( I don't know how to do it as I have not done it
myself). Set the lilo on the first linux partition and not on MBR. and
then make that partition the active one using fdisk.
Of course Backup your home directory and all data. You shouldn;t
trust the bill.

The best thing.
Request: transfer the linux on the new disk as it ought to be bigger and
IMO windoze doesn;t deserve it.
