In a Triple Boot, Where Has Win 2K Gone?

Hello:
This post has to do with the mysterious disapperance of Windows 2000 Pro in a triple boot config with WinXP Home and Win 7 Enterprise
Installations were done with oldest OSes first.
During the WinXP install, the first install of Win2K was visible and updates were added as usual.
Thereafter, when I moved back into Win 7, it listed only WinXP and Win7.
This is the second time around using the VistaBootPRo 3.3 product, and this problem persisted before when it listed a total of six OSes, but I was unable to run those because they were on another hard drive, thus, the error messages would appear.
However, on this 80GB hard drive, there are only three Windows installed but only two are showing.
What are the steps needed to rectify this condition?
Your thoughts and suggestions are sorely needed in this matter.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
Regards,
perdue112

Windows 2000 uses arcldr and not ntldr. Do you still have arcldr present on your system?
