I have 4 IDE connected to my computer 1) HD0 - 4gb Linux 2) HD1 - 8gb Win98 3) CD Rom 4) HD2 - 40gb Win2k
My wife uses the Win98 hd, my kid the Win2k and I recently started to use Linux, however everytime any of us need to use the computer I must have to change the boot order from the setup, I have heard that LILO has the ability to make a boot menu to choose what OS you like to start.

Yes, lilo should be able to boot up either Win98, Win2000, or Linux. Perhaps that is the best solution for you so that you don't have to chance the order of the boot process. There should be a MINI-HOWTO about lilo at www.linux.org under the Documentations or HOWTo sections.
