Right here we go.....

I have installed WinXP onto my computer and am happy with the setup as is. HOWEVER I want to play games and as my Voodoo5 is not happy under XP but most definately works in 2k I have decided to reinstall 2k. So I put in another Hard Drive to my already stuffed computer and have formatted it.

Here is the problem:

How do I install 2000 onto this drive without killing XP ? IS there a way and could you provide a step by step solution that I can follow so I don't kill everything ?

Here is the setup:

Promise Fast Trak 100 RAID Card running:
2 x IBM 30Gb GXP (One has XP on it and one is my music/docs disk)
1x WD 4.3Gb just for Win2k and a few games.
Rest of system in signature......

Please could someone who has done this help me out.

If it's not possible then I'll just Use File&Setting Transfer Wizard (SOOOOOOO useful ) and backup XP then reinstall it after i've done 2000. If this is the way to go then post and say.

Cheers.

When I had 2000 installed and wanted to duel boot with Xp I just run XP installetion right from 2000 and then picked a different partition
(C drive fr XP and my 2000 was using E) and the way I went. Xp took care of the duel boot. Maybe 2000 will do the same?
I'd backup if I were you And make recovery disk if for some reason boot sectors are not compatible.

Cheers I will probably try that then but I am not sure that will work as when you put a windows 2000 CD into the drive it usually disables the install option....
