I bought a new Dell System with Windows XP Home Edition
for my new Dental office. One of my existing software
applications won't support Windows XP. I tried to install
the Windows 2000 Professional, but the computer rejects to
continue the installation because it finds out the Windows
2000 Professional is older than the current O/S installed
in the system. Can I install a dual boot for my
computer ? If so, how I can do that ?

Thank you very much,
DT
