Dual Boot

[Jim Hawkins]

Hello,

I currently have Windows XP Professional installed on my computer. I have
the opportunity to evaluation Windows Server 2003EE -- but I don't want to
lose my existing XP Professional installation.

Is there a tutorial on how to setup a dual boot for a situation like this?
I've found a couple, but most are for 2000/XP or 98/XP. Anybody have any
suggestions?

Thanks

Jim:

I run Win2k3 server via dual boot with Win XP:
Some thoughts:
Plan to use:
A separate vol for Win2k3
Use NTFS
Make copies of your Win XP boot files before installing:
boot.in
ntldr
ntdetect.com

Boot from the Win2k3 CD (it will not install via WinXP Pro boot).

It should not affect Win XP Pro in a separate vol.
