After I burn it on CD can i just go to Bios and say "boot from CD" like win 2000 and start installing? Does it it allow dual boot with Win 200 or it will screw up my master boot record? I doon't want to disturm my current win 200 settings. I just want to install win XP as secondary OS on my 2nd hard drive as dual boot.
 
Boot off the CD and you're off. Install it to a different partition as W2K and XP will just add itself to your boot menu automatically.
 
I was able to just install Beta 2 from 2000, and select A Logical Drive I had created for it. Worked like a charm.
 
So I can do a clean install within Win 2000 just by selecting a different partition? usually that is much faster than booting off a CD.
 
Just Downloading winXP going Win XP in a few hours. So have a few mor question. Does all the win 2000 driver works with XP? Like say ATI drivers?
 
Like Athlon4All said - you can run the install from W2K if you wish just make sure you do a new install to a different partition, not an 'upgrade.'

Most W2K drivers work with XP but there are some that don't.
