XP pro and win 2000 dual boot?

[jphenrick]

Hi

I have an NTFS drive(120GB) formatted as one partition with xp pro

Is there a way to partition the drive and install win 2000?

the set up is diabled if u try now as win 2000 is older operating system

Thanks

John

the way to do it is to install another operating system and THEN install winxp... always easiest coz winxp is not happy about allowing you to install other o/s's

I used to have win2k and winxp dual boot... install win2k and create partitions if you want... then when you install winxp you will be asked if you want to overwrite or create new partition... create new one or install in a previously created partition...


and there you are

Thanks Sazar

Is there a way without re-installing Xp as my machine was pre-loaded when purchased and i have installed loads of software already

Thanks
