Hi:
I need to do a presentation. My notebook has XP PRO (SP2) on it. From the MS site I am assuming that if I want to get a Windows Server version to boot along side of Xp I need to reformat and repartition the hard drive on this machine. Is that correct?
If I do that and put the XP PRO back on the first partition and Windows Server on the second partition will Windows Server boot from the second paritiion?
One of the commercial partition managers ought to resize an XP installation safely, probably even the older versions given away on magazines. If you're prepared to reformat anyway, you certainly won't lose anything by trying.
I haven't actually run a 2003-generation server dual boot, but I don't think there should be a problem. They still use the NT-type boot system, and an installation should just add an entry to the XP boot menu. None of the Windows variants from 95 onward insisted on installation on the first bootable partition they recognised, they just needed to place a few files there.
Or you could use a virtual machine in XP.
