Help: Would post in Software section but low on time

Question 1:Can Win2k and WinXP DUAL BOOT??? Since XP is based on XP's "core" I am not sure that a dual boot scenario will work....

Question 2: Can Win2k and WinME DUAL BOOT??? I believe the answer to this is YES since Win2k is built on NT 4.0's "core" or "kernel"
and WinME is built on Win98's "kernel".

THANKS

yes and yes

if you want to install xp and 2k, install 2k first then xp second and it will create a boot loader for ya

if you want to do winme and xp, again install xp last

Thanks Sohcrates!!! The installation order appears indentical to the "easy" way to install a dual boot of Win98 and NT 4.0, that is,
install Win98 FIRST, then NT 4.0.

You're SURE about the DUAL BOOT WIN2k/WINXP Home Edition scenario, right???
