I have installed windows xp.
I was told to use D:\i386\WINNT.EXE but it is not working. Any suggestions
are welcome

Thanks

Hi;

First, read this info about the need to preserve the newest versions of the
two loader files
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315233). If your
C: drive is FAT32 and you already have the XP versions of those files there,
you may want to just copy them to a floppy before installing Win2000 then
boot from a floppy later and restore them.

On the whole dual boot scenario, suggest you see these articles:

The above have quite a bit of info and tips which should help.
