Dual booting question

[mr krinkle]

Any problems anyone have with dual booting W-2000 and XP Pro on a single HD?I have W2k on a 40 Gig that has two 20 partitions and want XP for a few things.

Should work like a charm and be very easy since you already have two partitions.

The only gotcha that I can think of is make sure 2000 is installed first. It most likely won't recognize XP. MS OS's aren't very good at recognizing later MS OS's. They will over write the MBR of the newer OS.

Yes 2000 is on my C: drive, which is running now,So just install XP on D: and hope for the best right?

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem for you.
