In know that you can set up a multiboot situation with Xp and an earlier
version of windows on the same hard drive. I want to do this with XP Pro
and XP home - each OS on a different partition of the same master hard
drive. Will this work - do I have to get 3rd party software to make this
work? What if I have the two installs on separate hard drives in the same
machine? Any way to easily switch back and forth between them?

Thanks,

Michael
 
You can install another version of Windows XP on a different
drive or partition. Windows XP will automatically install a
dual boot loader so you can select which O/S to boot into.

But I went back and install the recovery for win xp home one my first drive (was too slow) BIG Problem wen I reboot my computer, it don't ask me to select between home or prof.

I have the opposite problem, I don't want to be prompted
each time I boot up. I thought I upgraded to Professional
from Home but I seem to have both. Also none of my Home
settings nor software moved and/or works under
Professional. Any idea's? Thanks!
