Can You Have Both XP and 2k on One PC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Yes you can, I didn't have to take any special precautions, in fact I have
win xp, win 2k pro and win 98 on one 80gb drive. I used Partiton Magic to
create it.

Rick, the example you've given is for how to install win2k After Installing
XP.

I already have win2k installed............and now I need to install XP so as
to have both of them on my pc.

Thank you very much

If you have a second hard drive (or partition), boot from the WinXP CD and,
when given the choice, choose new installation (not upgrade) and direct it
to the second drive/partition.

Hi Mike,

That's even easier. Start Win2000, insert the WinXP disk and start setup.
Choose a new installation, then direct it to install to a different
partition or hard drive. Setup will create the dual boot for you.
