Or if you add something like these two stanzas to /boot/grub/grub.conf,
you should be able to boot all three OSes from grub. [1]

title Windows 2000
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
title Windows ME
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader /bootsect.dos

That's assuming that you've currently got WinME on C:, which is the
first partition of the first drive, and that you've installed Win2K
besides it (probably on another partition), allowing the Win2K
installer to do its stuff.

(It will put the WinME boot sector into a C:\bootsect.dos file: Grub can
use that for booting WinME too).

Hope this helps,

James.
