need help

Greetings

please give me suggestions/links

I want to install 2 W2K's on 2 seperate hard disks ( c
drive with 80 g and D drive with 120 g) and want to have a
dual boot.
At the boot time the computer should show me which one to
choose and boot
like regular w2k and win 98, at the boot time it shows a
menu to choose within 15 seconds and boots automatically
based on which one is chosen or default)

Thanks
 
To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000
CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute
makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the
prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install and install to drive 0

After the install is complete either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or
setup disks again and choose the install to the unallocated space on drive 1
