That's what I do, but what's better is what works better for you.

I think you should reread the GRUB documentation. You have "GRUB files" in
your /boot directory, but

* the GRUB stage-1 boot loader is in the first sector (not a file) of
some partition; and
* if you're loading GRUB from W2K, there's a copy of that sector in
another file somewhere, and W2K's BOOT.INI specifies its location.

To boot W2K, if you have GRUB in the MBR, you'll have to go through the W2K
boot menu. Unless you specify something like "timeout=0" in one or both
bootloaders, you'll have to navigate menus.

I'm only familiar with one way to boot Linux -- with a bootloader like LILO
or GRUB. There may be other ways, but LILO and GRUB have always worked for
me.
