As far as I know, if you split up the partitions so that each OS gets it's own indepedent primary partition, you wouldn't have a problem. Both 2000 and XP should detect each other and automatically create a multi-boot option in your Boot Menu and write the information to your MBR. Just give Win2K it's own parition - the problems start when you try to share the same partition among both.

I have no idea how to do partitions. But does that mean it is possible to have a computer with both 98 AND XP??? If anyone can tell me how to partition a drive or if you can use these two OS's on one computer, thanks!

To Trojan, Yes you can have windows 98/Xp on same computer as microscopic said, you need to make 2 partitions to make it work, its the same idea with any other Operating System..

I had Win2000 server and Win XP dual booting on the same machine for a while. I can't answer your second question, though, because I had Win2000 Server on C: and the added Win XP on G:. It's usually considered better to first install the older Windows on C:, and then the newer one on some other drive, but whether it's really necessary I don't know. On older versions of Windows, it's safer and more reliable. What's important is that you remember that the line between the OS and certain MS applications in Windows is sometimes rather vague. The problem is mainly with Internet Explorer and OS related gadgets like the .NET framework, Java VMs, etc. Don't try to put such apps on the same drive. Windows will make the newer one overwrite the older one, which may not be compatible with the OS, or which may be storing different parameters, and all hell will break loose. In other words, if you're using C: as what Microsoft perversely calls the "boot drive" for Win2000, where the built-in apps for Win2000 will be, don't try to install similar apps for Win XP there.

In our office we already have win98 and win2000 server on the same C drive on many machines. Although I know that it is better to install two O/S on difference drives. But by installing them on the same Drive saves a lot of time and space because we don't need two versions of every software. But my one more question is still unanswered. Can I install Win2000 server after winxp that is already installed. I know the order of various O/S installation is Win95 > win98 > winNT > winXp but I am not sure about Win 2000 server and win xp which should be installed first???????

however, when windows xp is the first os installed on hard drive, then, windows 2000. you will have a note that after you have installed the windows 2000, you must repair the booting environment, otherwise the windows xp won't start. but if in invert to install the os, then, this step is not needed. here after, there is different with the post stated before. - hope this help

QUOTE(solanky @ Jul 7 2005, 03:58 AM) Can I install Win2000 server after winxp that is already installed.
No. Either WinXP has to be installed after all other current versions of Windows - I don't know about Vista - or, as magiccode9 suggests, you will have to repair the boot environment. In fact, for some reason, when I once tried to do what you seem to be suggesting, not only couldn't I enter WinXP from the main boot menu, for some reason I couldn't enter Win2K. However, I'm pretty sure that it's not the order in which they are placed on the disk which creates the problem, but the order in which they are installed. I seem to remember that I have had working systems with WinXP on the first partition and Win2000 on the second.

i dont get why would you need to have XP and 98 but has some people have said above you can particionating the disc (for example C:/ and E:/ ) and installing a resion of windows on each particion i have use this but a partition my disc in two, in one particion y have windows XP ando on the other i have Linux of course you just cinfigure the bios tho start whith eathier particion you are using

You should have installed Windows 2000 first. I think perhaps you can install windows 2000 and then edit the BOOT. But I'm really sorry I don't know how.

You never did tell us why you wanted both XP and Server so I will go off on a tangent. Get a virtual machine application and run them both at the same time. You can run XP as your main OS and then run Windows Server 2000 inside XP when you need to. I have dual booted every combination that you can think of (XP, 2000, Linux, and every variation there of) and it is certainly possible but a virtual machine makes it so much easier. My primary need for multiple operating systems is software development and exploit analysis. If I develop an application in XP I can quickly start a 2000 virtual machine and make sure it also runs there. In my opinion VMWare is the best but it is not free. Microsoft offers Virtual PC for free and it is OK for Microsoft only operating systems. If you want to run a web server (I assume this is why you want Server 2000) then this is a perfect solution. Run Windows 2000 in the virtual machine and then minimize and forget.
