Installing NT4 Server and Windows 2000 Server

[PCmad]

I have a 40 gig hard drive, which I am going to partition and would like to install NT4 Server and Windows Advanced Server 2000. I only have 1 hard drive in the machine but would like to be able to run both NT4 and Windows 2000 server from the same disk.

I would like to have a menu appear, that gives me an option to say what would I like to load. I know this can be done on a NT boot loader and via Partion Magic if you have say windows 98 and Windows 2000 server. But assuming I am not running windows 95/98/nt/XP starting from no operating system, how do I run both from the same hard drive, can it be done? Which should I load first? I was intending to create partitions when installing.

I would like to have both partitions as NTFS, this is also just for learning with, so do not need to make the server as a domain. Just a workgroup would be fine. Any Ideas?

Thanks for any replies.

Install NT4 first. Next, install W2K and specify that is its a NEW installation. Pick a different partition/directory to install to. When done, boot.ini will give you choices for NT or W2K; no additional software is required.

NT must be installed first, because if done the other way around, NT's bootloader would break the W2K boot files.

I generally like to create 4 partitions in this case:
c:=nt4 OS
d:=w2k OS
e:=nt4 applications
f:=w2k applications
