Ah!! You dont need to reinstall ...thanx for such a detailed guidance. and infact, even i had followed the same steps, but when i execute grub-install /dev/hda, it prompts "grub" and nothing is happening after that.
i m now thinking of reinstalling linux.
In the 6th step , do as follows -
a. Add the following lines to your grub.conf -
title Windows Server
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1[It is assumed that you have Windows in /dev/hda2]
b. Then install grub
#grub
[in the grub prompt]
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)[it is assumed that your linux boot partion is /dev/hda1 and you are installing grub at MBR]
Good luck.

1) Boot from first install CD.
2) Choose Rescue Mode by typing 'linux rescue' on prompt.
3) once you are into rescue mode.
The install program may ask to check and mount your root partition for you, you may safely skip it.
4) Mount your root partition. (eg /dev/hda1)
mount -t ext3[2] /dev/hda1 /tmp/some_dir
5) Do a chroot
chroot /tmp/some_dir
6) Check/edit your grub.conf & install it
Add Win2k entries to grub.conf. & install grub ....
grub-install /dev/hda
(choose /dev/hda if grub is your primary bootloader)
These are very genric redhat rescue mode steps,I don't use redhat anymore so please do correct me.
