Hi,

Is it possible to create a dual boot Windows XP Home and
Windows 2000 machine when Windows XP is installed first.

When attempting to install Win 2000, I keep getting a
message along the lines of:

"This CD-ROM is from an older version of Windows than the
one you are presently using.

Setup functionality from this disk will be disabled".

If anyone could help with this I would be most grateful.

Thanks.

Regards,

DRTP
 
You really need to install Windows 2000 on your first partition and then
install XP home on a second partition.
 
How do I install Windows 2000 after I've installed Windows XP?
