Before you do anything I would go ahead and use Symantec Ghost 2003 and back up the windows 2000 partition. You might be able to back up the Mandrake 8.0 with Ghost 2003 read the documentation

Subject: Re: [newbie] Dual Boot Upgrade

If I do a clean install and format my Linux partitions will I still be able to boot the windows 2000 partition through LILO?

I want to upgrade to Mandrake 9. Is there anything I should beware of
before upgrading a dual boot machine. If I lose my 2000 install I will
be screwed.

Others deal with the upgrade issue.  Just to add my 2p worth -

You wouldn't try to upgrade, would you?  Most people have found that dodgy.  A 
clean install is to be preferred.
