Has any body suceeded in installing these two OS on the same machine and
making dual boot setuup?

I tried twice and failed. XP start up file get corrupted.

Here is my config.

I have two hard disks. Currently XP pro in installed on a partition of
Disk0.
Disk1 is not partitioned and formatted.

Now, I wanted to into intall windows 2000 Advance server on the second hard
disk and like to have both OS on the same machine

How do I do it?

(above technique works with Advanced Server as well)

Hello Mack,

This issue occurs because Windows XP did not exist when Windows 2000 was
released. The Windows 2000 bootstrap loader files are not aware of the
changes that have been made in Windows XP. The computer needs these changes
to load Windows XP.

To work around this issue, start the computer in Windows 2000, and then
copy the NTLDR and Ntdetect.com files from the I386 folder on the Windows
XP CD-ROM to the root of the system drive.

Even though a workaround for this issue is described in this article, you
can only perform a dual Startup when you install Windows XP in a different
partition after you install Windows 2000.

For more information about this please refer to Q283433 "Cannot Start
Windows XP After You Install Windows 2000"

Sincerely,
Jeff Wade [MS]
