See my web site, www.dougknox.com and go to Win XP Tips

For Win9x/Me: Install 98/Me after XP is Installed.
For Windows 2000: Install Windows 2000 after XP is installed.

MR.Doug Knox, my question is, can I install win98 or
win2000 in a condition where my pc is already have a win
xp. I'm not asking how to install both 2000 and xp. I
need to know can i add on win2000 with my current windows
xp?

.You certainly can instll two operating systems but care

is needed. It is easier if you have Partition Magic and
Boot Magic. The danger is that after installing the extra
system you will be unable to boot your computer. Boot
Magic, will on the boot show all the operating systems in
your computer and you will be able to choose which one
you wish to boot from. I can copy details from the help
section of Partition Magic and send them to you if
required. It may be possible to do it without Partition
Magic but I am unaware how it can be done. Using
Partition Magic you can easily install a number of
operating systems 95 98 ME NT Linux.

Yes, if you go to my Web site, Windows XP Tips, Install Windows 2000 After
XP is Installed (as instructed originally), it will give you the steps
needed to install Windows 2000 on a system that already has XP and still
have XP available.
