Installing XP Pro and Windows 2000 pro

[Guest]

Is it possible to install XP Pro and Windows 2000 Pro the same time and on
the same hard drive by splitting hard drive?
If yes, can someone please tell me how to do this so I wont screw up my puter.
I just want to know if this is possible?

Yes, you can.
Install 2000 first then XP
Boot from the 2000 CD or floppy disk set using the option in the setup to
partition the hard drive into a least two partitions. 2000 can get away with
using a 2 to 3 gig partition, but XP should be at least 10 gig.
After 2000 is setup, and install service packs and run updates before
installing XP
Boot from XP CD and follow steps to clean install into the second partition.
Many of the steps for XP apply to 2000. After XP is installed, you will have
a boot loader window to choose 2000 or XP.
