That's kind of strange, I would think going from W2K -> Linux would be
harder.
To go from Linux -> W2K:
1. use a boot loader like LILO or GRUB
2. in linux, edit the configuration file so that the default system
to boot is windows
3. run "shutdown -r now" and the machine reboots
4. when it comes back up, it chooses the default W2K system and boots it
Going back the other way under GRUB would require the ability to edit
/boot/grub/menu.lst from W2K which would be rather hard. Under LILO it
would require the ability to edit lilo.conf and run lilo from W2K which
would be extremely hard.
