I wouldn't recommend it. I would suggest purchasing a
new hard drive and install Media Center on it, then
you can just swap drives.
BTW, Media Center will not offer any advantages
unless your PC includes the hardware necessary to
support the unique Media Center features.

:
| I have Windows XP Professional (2001) and Windows XP Media Center Edition
| (2004). Both are OEM discs.
|
| 1) Can I create a Multiple-boot System (on a Dell Inspiron 6000)?
|
| 2) If yes, can I do it without loosing the factory restore partion (which
| has Windows XP Media Center Edition in it).
