I have XP installed. Can i install Windows server 2003 and dual boot
easily?

"Easily" depends on your skills and experience. I would
install a proper boot manager, e.g. XOSL (free!), then
install Windows Server on a separate partition and get
XOSL to hide the two partitions from each other.

Best to practise with XOSL on a spare disk before
going ahead. If you do the wrong thing then you will
lose your WinXP installation.
