    Is it possible to install Windows 2000 on a second drive and then
    dualboot between the old and the new install.

    Another way to transfer most settings and data is to use USMT 2.6 to
    first backup the profiles and after the new install restore the
    settings. Please note that you most likely will need to modify the
    usmt templates to include all your apps and that usmt wont migrate
    passwords, efs certificates and hardware configs/drivers.

    I guess the dualboot approach is the easiest way when you only have
    one computer.
