XP/2000 Dual Boot

[paul172]

Hi,

I need to create a dual boot system with XP Pro and Windows 2000 Pro. The only problem is I have XP installed at them moment and I gather best practice is to install the oldest O/S first. This isn't really an option. I have 2 HD's in my PC, 160GB(XP PRO), 80GB(empty).

So, I am basically asking whether it will be possible to physically unattach the 160GB drive and install WIN2000 on the 80GB, then reattach the 160GB and alter the boot.ini.

Would this be possible.

Thanks,
Paul
