On my system the file to modify is /boot/grub/menu.lst.

To let me boot into WindowsXP for the once in a blue moon that I need
to:

    title Windows XP
    root (hd0,1)
    chainloader +1
    boot

Since it sounds like your W2K installation is on another drive,
you'll need to change the (hd0,1) part.
