Yes. On different partitions will work fine.

Back up your old partition first just in cast things don't go as planned.

Thanx!
That's exactly what I meant! That would work with installing windows xp on
one & windows 2000 pro on the other PARTITION of the same hard disk as
well,
won't it?

my suggestion is to add a
secondary harddrive and
install an o.s. onto it.

the installation of the o.s.
will create a dual boot menu
whereas the option to boot
one o.s. or the other will be
provided.

upgrading your system with
another disk and having another
o.s. will also provide you with a
back up o.s. in the event of
a disk or system crash.

also, what would likely be helpful
is to increase the size of memory
if you think your software is causing
the computer to be sluggish.

Me and my wife use a single machine. However, I am quite always in need
of
numerous software, but installing them all causes quite a slow speed
and
time-consuming launch of the system itself, which sure does drives my
wife
mad!

If I install an additional operating system (probably a former
different
windows version) for her would it cater the need and have a clean
registry?
or both the operating systems would be possessing the same pace and
speed,
although all the software would it be installed while using a single
operating system?

Thanx in advance!
