only root can change, users can view it.
You can measure the free space and total space of all mounted file systems using the df command.
boot the system you need the file to be in, and navigate to the other systems folders.
NTLDR is indeed a key boot file in Windows 2000 and all of the Windows operating systems since Windows NT. A machine will not boot without that file.
Partition information: detailing the size and type of each partition on the hard drive. File system type: specifying the format used to organize and store data on the partitions. Boot information: indicating which partition contains the boot loader and bootable operating system.
Not all Linux partitions are ext3. It just happens to be the most popular file system. ext3 was created especially for Linux, so it is free from any patent issues involved with some other file systems.
None. Partitions are divisions of file systems found on hard drives. They have nothing to do with the motherboard.

boot.ini = file used to identify the default operating system and other operating systems if more than one is present. The boot.ini file has been replaced by the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) File in windows vista
If you plan to dual-boot between Windows 2000 and any previous MS OS, the boot drive must be formatted with a file system compatible with both operating systems. Any drive that Windows 9x needs must use the FAT file system. The drive can only be on the first primary partition or in a logical drive in an extended partition. All other drives and partitions will be unavailable when one of the other Os's is active.
Yes. A good program to do this it gtparted.
There are several ways to set-up a system for dual boot. The best or preferred method is dependent on the operating systems involved, the particular BIOS code on the system, and on whether the file systems will need to be available to more than one operating system. Boot.INI is a text file, and so can be editted to suit, with notepad. Unfortunately, the way this question is worded, there is no way to make a direct answer on how to do it properly on that system.
The 'mount' command with no options will list out all of the mounted filesystems currently in use and their 'mount' options. This command is used by the administrator to make available partitions that are currently offline.
