I have a version of XP-Home currently on my machine. I need Win XP Pro in order to utilize IIS. I have purchased a larger/faster hard drive for the machine. What I want to do is Install XP-Pro as the active partition and then install my existing XP-home edition on a second partition. Any conflicts with doing this? I have been informed there may be and do not understand why. I will also be installing a second hard drive at some point to add additional operating systems. Thanks for any help!
 
Hi Mike,

This should work OK. Just make sure that the two operating systems are
indeed installed to different drives.
