Bootloader Problem

Thanks for your reply.
For me the menu.lst seems ok.
But what I've forgotten to mention is that I've installed GRUB into the 
MBR.
Could it be possible that my problem is that Grub is in the MBR (of hda1 
?) .
Grub boots Ubuntu from hda6 fine but isn't able to boot Win2K from hda1 ?
Did I kill my Win2K "bootmanager" ?
