Okay,
1. Shut system down and install the second hard disk.
2. Reboot into Windows XP
3. Open Disk Administrator, create partition and format the new drive (I am assuming the new drive will be D)
4. Insert your cd for Windows 2000 into your cd rom. It should do an auto run. If not, explore to the cdrom and run the setup.exe at the root of the cd.
5. When the setup starts, you will get an error message that it cannot upgrade your system, you will need to perform a clean install
6. Select 'clean install'
7. You will be brought to a screen where there will be three buttons, select the middle one and place a check in the box which asks that you want to select the partition durning the install. (Note: you are still running Windows XP)
8. At this point, procede with the install and it will copy files to your local hard drive.
9. The system will reboot and you will select the Windows 2000 setup
10. procede normally, but make certain that you are asked for the partition, select thenewly partitions hard drive.
11. The rest is to follow the on screen prompts.
Have fun with your dual-boot system.
