Any suggestion? ....

I have three suggestions:

If you want to access the Windows partition(s) within Linux try to use FAT16 or FAT32 paritions if at all posible.

If you do end up going with NTFS for some reason, DO NOT attempt to resize the partition. I've tried this with a few different utilities and it's resulted in a courupted NTFS partition every time.

Load Windows 2000 first. Windows doesn't play well with others, so this allows Linux to controll the mbr.

As long as you follow these three guidelines you shouldn't run into any trouble. Make a boot disk just in case though
