Ramidon,
There is no problem with what you're doing. In fact, you don't need to have two partitions--just when you install the second Access, redirect it to a different folder on the same drive.
I have Access97, Access2K, and AccessXP playing happily together on a WinXP Pro machine. The only problem is not being able to open files by double-clicking because it always tries to open them with the wrong Access version. That and remembering which version the databases are in, because I'm such a space cadet
