Any recommendations on how to go about doing this. I have run endless searches on the net and nothing is coming up.

why you don't run both at the same time ?
install fedora 7 and run your windows 2000 under qemu or vmware.

What do you need to know? I have Windows 2000 dual booting with Fedora 7 and both are having lots of fun together :)
I am not at my machine right now, but off the top of my head, each one have their own sets of partitions. In fact I dedicated one partition to be a common data area (looking forward to have both firefox and thunderbird share the same set of data whether I start on Win2K or F7 mode, but that's for the future, now it is just another vfat partition)

Don't be so specific. Just use Windows duel boot grub Linux you will get many hits.
"duel boot"? Are we talking light sabers at 20 paces or? :-)

This is what I do on my setup that uses 2 Hard drives for my dual boot (although if using just one, can do same thing as far as partitioning)..
1 - Figure out how much space to use for Windows and Linux. 2 - Boot up using Win Server CD and setup partition for Windows on that first HD while doign the install. You don't need to setup partitions for linux here, just windows, except maybe to set aside room for a /boot partition. Leave the rest blank and do that when installing Fedora. 3 - Continue installing Win Server. 4 - Once completed with windows, insert Fedora install CD and boot up. 5 - When configuring Fedora during install, just select your partitions you want to use. 6 - When it gets to the grub part, just let it install it to the MBR and finish the install. 7 - Upon reboot, you will get to grub, and can boot to windows or linux from there.
Below is my layout...
HDA - 1st partition for Windows HDA - 2nd partition for my /boot dir
HDB - / partition HDB - /home partition HDB - swap partition
At least that is how I do it. Hope this helps. But if you got one weird setup on yoru system, using Raid and stuff and all that, let one of the others on the list help, as I don't have experience in that.
