Installing Win2000 after XP

[MikeMCSD]

Hi,
Is it possible to install Win 2000 on a machine
that already has XP Home on it?
I would like to keep all the configuration/installations
that are currently on the XP Home operation system.

Is there a way I could save the whole C:\ drive that
has XP on it and later transfer it to another partition
after installing Win 2000 and have it be detected at
boot-up? I have 2 hard drives in the machine.

thanks

As for you second question, because your existing XP registry has thousands of lines referencing Drive C: it is not practical to move XP to a different partition.

Excellent. Thanks!!

I'll give it a go and tell you how
I made out.

You're right about the C:\ mappings . .
I didn't think about that!
