Can you have a dual boot ......windows 2k pro or server And Windows XP?
If so, is there any precautions I should take before installing Windows XP?

Thank you very much
 
Yes you can, I didn't have to take any special precautions, in fact I have
win xp, win 2k pro and win 98 on one 80gb drive. I used Partiton Magic to
create it.
 
Rick, the example you've given is for how to install win2k After Installing
XP.

I already have win2k installed............and now I need to install XP so as
to have both of them on my pc.

Thank you very much

Install each OS onto its own partition.

Hi Mike,

That's even easier. Start Win2000, insert the WinXP disk and start setup.
Choose a new installation, then direct it to install to a different
partition or hard drive. Setup will create the dual boot for you.
