In order to dual-boot both Windows and Linux, GRUB needs to be in your MBR.
It acts as the boot loader for both operating systems and is
OS-independent. If you triple-boot 2 Windows Os's and Linux, then GRUB will
load the Windows Boot Loader if you select the Windows option, then you can
choose the Windows OS. If you want to remove GRUB from the MBR (and I don't
know why you would if you really want Windows & Linux,) then you'll have to
boot with the Win 2k install disk and use the repair utility to repair the
MBR.

The other replies about the Windows section in grub.conf and selecting the
default OS are what work for me.
