You need to be very clear about which partitions you are using. You
appear to have run the grub "setup" command on the first partition of
the first hard disk, and it also appears that Windows is installed on
that partition. That would explain the behaviour you are seeing.

Please can you post the output of:
# fdisk -l

and also what's in your /etc/grub.conf ?

You'll probably need to reinstall grub on the correct partition and then
use the Win2000 CD in "recovery" mode to fix the Win2000 bootloader,
which you appear to have overwritten with grub.

You may not have specified the correct monitor. What monitor are you
using? What is in the "Monitor" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
