IMMEDIATE HELP needed, a quick 2000/XP dual boot question

[LargePete007]

I have just done a fresh install of 2000 and want to now install Windows XP. Do I just put it on another drive or on the same drive? I tried installing 2000 after XP and it didn't work so I totally reformatted both the drives and am now waiting for some help to figure out how to add XP without breaking the whole system.

On a side note, where does 2000 put the boot loader gig? It was broken and the only way I could kill it was to boot into 98 and do a fdisk /mbr and format the drive fat32, just to turn around and reformat it NTFS. Is there a better way to fix this? I tried Fixboot and FixMBR from a 2000 kernel, but that didn't help.

HELP!

They should be on different hard drives. In XP I remember reading a Help file that specifically addressed this issue. Click on HELP found on the Start Menu and search for dual boot or something. I had XP for about a week. It was incredibly pretty and all that good stuff but I took it off for Windows 2000. Not being able to install drivers in XP was a pain.

Just different partitions works OK, I had it for a couple of days, couldn't install any antivirus or firewalls so, it just had to go. You can turn the pretty crap off. I found that all my progs except the AV and FW ran very good on XP.
