you should be able to load win2K from grub 

something like
rootnoverfiy (hd0,0)
makective
chaainloader +1 
boot

(see grub manual for details)

you can then either reinstall the windows bootloader 

or set the grub menu to give windows as an option

but you probably end up for periods without a working machine

I think you right click on your connection icon and choose share internet 
connection in much the same way as you share a folder

of course you need a second machine and network hardware to make use of this.
