Crispy Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Yes you can. The Boot-record is saved on your primary HD and just redirects to another HD if the OS is located there ... Windows 2000 and XP even use the same boot-loader, so messing it up is quite hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamehead200 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I don't think so because it is newer than Windows XP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBay Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 If not, you can always go the VMWare route:http://www.vmware.com/download/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBay Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 You should be able to do this ... without too much incident. I would use a boot manager or set up your boot sector manually from FDISK though.Here is another link that may come in handy should you give this a go:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...39-e3f3aa5e5b25Hope this helps you.

Sunil Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 You can install windows.net server on the same machine as windows XP without incident, however with windows 2000 you must install the older os first and then the newer, example if you want to install windows 2000 and xp you need to install windows 2000 first and then you can install windows xp..It seems that for some reason you cannot install windows xp then 2000, because as Crispy said it can mess stuff up...Sunil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
