martymcfly Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) you can, but you will need to do it on a different partition Edited April 13, 2005 by martymcfly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 yea it will work fine. I just use two seperate drives for regular and benching, but just partitioning one drive will work as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LobbDogg Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I think you would need to install win2k first then XP second, but I could be wrong. I thought once upon a time I heard this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 man it f-uped my system , reinstalled 462259[/snapback] Â what did it do? was the entire drive partitioned to XP? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 i think i have an idea what it did, since i just did the same thing It will try to boot xp and say that windows 2000 could not load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encrypted_God Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I have done 98SE and 2000Pro on same drive. Works ok on different partition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewkivela Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 yeah, they have to be on separate partitions, use partition magic if you can. as for having to install 2000 then xp, thats for upgrading, you dont need to worry about the order here -drew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
