Dual boot Win XP and Win 2000 Pro

[Russell]

I was needing to know if I can run a dual boot of Win
2000 on a machine that already has Win XP installed. I
know you are supposed to install the older os first but I
bought this computer almost two years ago with XP already
installed and I need to run 2000 for a class at school.
I have over 50gb of free space so I can partition my hard
drive. I just don't want to mess anything up. Someone
told me to buy a new hard drive and transfer all the data
from the old drive to the new one and then format the old
drive and boot 2000 from it. I don't have the resources
for that so I need to know another way. Thanks for any
help. The email is real so please email me with any
response.
