Presuming you have an appropriate entry for w2k in your grub.conf, what
happens if you edit boot.ini on your w2k boot drive?  You know, the line
that sez something like:
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

I'm really not sure of the syntax, but you might change disk(0) to
disk(1) and give it a whirl.  Looking up the proper syntax might even be
smarter...

Also, with all due respect to Mark, google (particularly google groups) is my
favorite guru =) You might check there.
