Is there any reason why Windows XP cannot be installed to the same boot
partition as either Windows 2000 or Windows XP? I have a Windows 2000 box
I use at home that I want to start to migrate to Windows 2003 and Windows
XP. I don't want to upgrade in place because the Windows 2000 box has a
registry that is severely corrupted and I doubt it would make the trip to
the new OS intact. My preference would be to install both Windows XP and
Windows 2003 in parallel to Windows 2000, selecting the OS at startup via
the boot.ini entry. Will this work?
Does Windows XP require that the boot device be a "Basic" disk when it
installs, or will it see a "Dynamic" drive as well?
