I have a machine with 2000 and need to install XP as a 2nd indept OS. When I
power up, I need to be able to select 2000 or XP.

I know there are ways to simulate 2000 with XP, but this in this special
situation, I either have to have indept boots, or set up a 2nd
computer for XP.

Thanks in advance.

There are lots of ways of doing this.

This will give you a basic overview::

However, I would do a lot more reading before actually doing it. Just
do a Google search for "dual boot windows."

One very important thing: Backup or create a clone of your W2k
installation in case you screw up.

Good Luck
