Installing Win2000 and WinXP

I want to install Win2000 and WinXP on my HDD on seperate partitions, Should i first install Win2000 in C: and then install WinXP on the next partition?


How can i install Win2000 on WinXP? Do i simply have to insert Win2000 bootable CD and format the partition where WinXP is installed and than follow the installation instruction for Win2000?

Pls note that i havent used Win2000 before.

The best way is to install Win2K first. Wipe the hard drive clean, create both partitions during the 2K install, then install XP to the second partition once you've completed the 2K install. Hopefully your 2K has SP4 already included. If not, you're going to have some sizeable downloads to make from Windows Upate.
