Dual boot win2k and win2k

[Rock Eater]

How do I go about setting up a dual boot between win2k and win2k?

Is there a step by step guide on a help page? The win2k CD seems criptic.

I would like to try some software out before installing it "for real". Also
in the long run it would also be good to create an environment where I could
install games and demos that would not effect my CAD and other work related
programs. To do this I would like to set up a dual boot system on my win2k
computer.

I have a spare 16 GB in a separate partition on the second hard disk. It is
FAT32 at present but that can change.

The primary partition is an NTFS.

TIA Pier

Either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup disks. The set of four
install disks can be created from your Windows 2000 CD-Rom; change to the
\bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos) or
makebt32.exe
(from 32 bit) and follow the prompts. Then install to the unallocated space
on drive1 (second drive) Setup will create the dual-boot loader for you.
