P

Pablo

Hi,
I have a computer with two hard drives, one has windows
2000 and the other one I want to install windows Xp on and
have the option to boot from either one. Please let me
know the best way to do this, thanks.

Best to not do any drive swapping. Leave the Windows 2000 drive as drive0
then simply boot from the Windows XP CD-Rom and choose to install to the
unallocated space on drive1 You'll then be presented with a boot loader
screen where you can choose the OS you wish to start.
