Yes. It's called "Dual Booting".

But why you'd want to do this with systems as similar as XP Home and
XP Pro I don't understand.

Sure, no licensing problems.

Sure, no licensing problems.

And his next question will be....
"How do I control which OS boots?"

And your answer will be...
"Use boot.ini."?

And I thought the UNIX man pages
were terse.

Lol, well he didn't really ask how to do it. Just asked if he could and if
there were licensing issues. Just trying to do my part to cut down on
newsgroup pollution. (Boy I've left myself wide open with that, too...)
