I finally had a chance to get back to this, and have it working. I ended up with the following in grub:
title=Windows 2000 map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) chainloader (hd1,0)+1 It turned out that I had a couple of issues - first was the missing space (thanks Hendrik). The next was that I didn't put the jumpers to the correct settings on the second IDE drive after I last swapped things around. Third, I had to format the second partition on the drive in question, so I could determine which drive I needed (using tab completion in the grub console). I'm sure it makes perfect sense, but the second IDE drive (which is a slave on the primary controller), came up as hd1, instead of hd2 like I was expecting. So that means my SATA drive is now hd2 - but only as far as grub is concerned. I'm not booting of the SATA drive so it doesn't matter. Now, I just need to figure out why W2K can recognize two network cards, but constantly disconnects them... But that's a different mailing list, and probably a reinstall.... One thing this experience has taught me is how much effort it takes to get an older version of windows working on newer hardware. (W2K on a 64bit capable machine with gigabit NIC). It seems to be sooooooo much more work and annoyance than Linux (not to mention the number of reboots). Heck, in the time I've spent trying to get windows working properly, I could have installed Gentoo from scratch with the full KDE system compiled from source, rather than using binaries.... :) Luckily it's only a couple of projects that demand Windows... Thanks everyone for the support!
