As previously mentioned, google is your friend.

Being able to boot windows 2000 is an altogether seperate issue from NTFS
support under linux. Lilo should boot it just fine.
Your lilo entry should look like this, though:
other=/dev/path/to/win2k/partition
label=win2000
optional
For instance, mine looks like this:
other=/dev/sda3
label=win2000
optional
You will have some trouble with windows 2000 if you aren't installing to
the first disk in the machine. Or, there's another operating system on the
box. Win2k will want to put it's bootloader components on the first
partition. This is easily resolved by a) installing win2k first and/or b)
unplugging any irrelevant disks. If you do end up installing the bootloader
components to another partition (ie: win9x), simply change the partition
entry in "other=" above to the one win9x resides on.
