You might also try GNU Parted
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html) if you were going with
the FAT32 filesystem. Parted is ineffective on NTFS partitions, however.
FAT32 is not recommended (by anyone, as far as I can tell).
 
You could also create two Windows partitions during the Win2K install
and just overwrite the second with Linux when the Windows install is
finished. That works fine. Refer to the following document to get a
working dual-boot loader once you have both operating systems installed:

HTH! :)
