The way I did it was pretty crazy, but it worked.

- I booted from the Redhat cd & had it autopartition the (whole) drive, then continued the RH setup until it finished formatting all of the partitions.

- Right when it finished & began copying the files, I rebooted the machine with the windows 2000 cd in the drive. When it asked me which partition to use, I deleted all of the linux partitions except for the first (approx 48meg) partition, and created a 60gb partition after it for windows.

- I finished the windows setup (installed all appropriate drivers) and rebooted with the RH cd again...

- I let RH autopartition again and it gave me some error about the boot partition (because it didnt use the first 48m partition previously created) so I removed the second 48m partition, and changed the mount point of the first one to /boot.

- then when it went to (grub) boot setup, at the bottom is a list of all bootable partitions. I clicked on the one that was NTFS and changed the name (label) of it to Win2K (i also made it my default boot partition).

- I finished RH setup, and everything worked great.

I know there has to be an easier way, but this was what I did, and it worked.
