I installed XP then 2003 in same partition, different directories. Both were
doing just fine before HDD failure lost both.
You have to be careful with apps, and be sure to install them in both.

Thanks for the info. By the way, what is the correct order of
installing the OS? Shall i go for Win XP Pro then Win 2003 Sever?
Or the other way?

General Rule when installing Multiple Microsoft OSes..
Older OS first.
