I tried it and assumed the install would be better/smarter than the W2K
Server install had been years before, so I let it do what it did initially
without interrupting it. It behaved just as the prior install did where I
had to hit a PFKey to interrupt the install to identify the PC. Before I
figurted this out, XP had corrupted the boot files on C: drive making it
impossible to boot back to my W2K server. Just exactly the place I didn't
want to be. Took a while, got W2K back. Installed XPPro. Got Partition
Magic out there. Tweaked my resized my drives.

Thanks everyone.
