Try to found out something about dual booting and then deside are you gona keep both winowses or are you gona loose one of them.
I've tried to have both of them on my comp but there was always some problems and of course I've deleted win2k. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...multiboot.mspx

The machine could be overheating. Check to see if all of the fans are spinning. Also check your temps.

With only 256megs of ram, XP can be unstable. 2000 should run pretty good on the 256. Also check to see how much disc space is left on the HDD. 2 OSes is going to use a lot of the 30 gigs.

if you gonna run XP on 256MB ram turn it into the classic mode "old windows look" and turn off the performance features all of them. Other than that if you can put in another stick of ram and go down to XP that would likely fix most of your problems. Good luck...
