There is a hack for this, which I used with a Win98 system. You'll have to do
all partitioning beforehand, so create the win2000 partition first. Make a
backup copy of the partition table. Zero out the partitions containing linux
in a copy of this file, and put this file back. Windows is now unable to see
your linux installation, so you can do the install. Put the original partition
table back afterwards. If linux is on an extended partition you will have to
hide this whole partition.
Step by step:
1) dd if=/dev/hda of=ptable bs=1 count=64 skip=446
2) cp ptable ptable.edit
3) edit ptable.edit and zero out the partitions containing linux
4) dd if=ptable.edit of=/dev/hda bs=1 count=64 skip=446
5) do the Windows install
6) dd if=ptable of=/dev/hda bs=1 count=64 seek=446
Take care *not* to do *any*partitioning* during the Windows install.
Bye,
Leonard.
