Re: QUERY: coexist win2k & winxp together

Install Windows 2000 version first. That will install the Windows boot
loader. Next, install Windows XP. It will update the boot loader. After
instasllationm the boot menu will give you the choice of booting Windows
2000 or XP.

You must not install both operating systems to the same partition.
