Multi boot set-up

I have a new computer that came with XP Pro already
installed and I just learned that I have a compatibility
problem with a customer's system that requires I access
it with Windows 2000. I have looked at some articles
about multi boot configurations, however they all
indicate that the older versions should be loaded first.
The relability of my main system is critical and I'm
tempted to buy another computer just to interact with
this one customer. I work all day (I'm a financial
analyst) on my system and will need to be using WIN 2000
for only 10 mintues each month. I'm intimated by the
prospect of creating a problem with the XP Pro OS
stemming from getting in over my head. Any advice would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance--Matt
