install xp to a dual boot 95 and 2000 machine

[Ben]

Gday all... Ive got an old computer, 2HDD, one with win 95.. waaay
outdated i know.. and the other with win2000 evaluation.. 95 is primary
partition.. and i wanted to install XP on the second HDD (old2000)....

Now i know there is a problem with the NTLoader, but not sure how to fix
it.. putting the xp cd in to boot up, it comes up with no NTloader.exe
found on partition... this is because it is dual booting to 95 and
2000.... whats the best way to fix this? knowing that im just gonna
install xp on the second HDD, and make that the primary partition.. should i
delete the ntloader file? or what?

My suggestion for a system that old, leave it like it is and use your copy
of XP for newer hardware.
With the information you gave, it is very hard to help you. How are you dual
booting? Third party bootmanager, or NT boot loader? File systems, etc.
