Okay.. I'm going to jump into the bandwagon here..
<snip>
Once you've chrooted, just run grub-install. You already have windows
XP options in /boot/grub/grub.conf I assume, so they should work for
windows 2000 with minimal/no fuss.
You may not even need to chroot if grub is on the restore cd - I can't
remember its been so long since I used it.

I just messed up my redhat 9 install due to my usage of Partition Magic to
expand my RH9 partition.
I booted into the RH CD, (linux rescue etc..) and tried to grub-install to
no avail because it couldn't find grub. (I didn't know at that time that
grub-install is a bash script with _hard_coded_ path to grub.) so.. in the
end, had to use knoppix live-cd to perform the job..
So... If I did the chroot thingy, it'll work _right_, since with this I
presume that I get my _actual_ rh partition as root partition..
(I've not used chroot before..) :)

Possibly! If the cd doesn't chroot you straight into your redhat
environment, I think (from memory) it mounts the system under
/mnt/sysimage, so you can chroot to there.
