1 - ntfs (win2k) +- 10gb
2 - ext3 +- 10gb
3 - swap +- 700 mb
4 - fat32 (win2k - data) +- 130bg

(it's a 160GB sata hdd)

the install was ok, no problems, but when i've restarted the computer
at the dual-boot, when i choose linux, i've got a:
"Grub Error 22, No Such Partition"

i can boot Win2k without problems, but i can't boot on linux?

It seems that the XP installation has munged the partitions.

Get a live CD (Knoppix, System Rescue CD, or equivalent), boot it
and see what the partition tool on disk shows. Most live CD's
have at least fdisk. The System Rescue CD even has a graphic
partition editor on board.
