I have installed Windows 2000 Server on partition C:(2GB/NTFS) and reserved
D:(2GB/NTFS) for Win2000.
Can I then install NT server 4.0 on
E:(2GB/FAT) and uppgrade with servicepack 6.0 or do NT have to be innstalled first?

The problem is that Windows 2000 upgrades file system to NTFS 5.
Windows NT 4.0 when installed out of the box cannot read NTFS 5.
When Windows NT 4.0 is upgraded with Service Pack 4 or higher (current SP is SP6a), it can read NTFS 5.
There are some knowledge base (KB) articles available at http://support.microsoft.com and I suggest you search there.
So if you want to run Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 concurrently, I suggest:
- Install Windows NT 4.0 first
- Install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a
- Install Windows 2000
- Install Windows 2000 Service Pack 1

hi,
be carefull installing NT4 after Win2000, because of overwriting the startup files from windows2000. better is to install nt4 first and than the windows2000 things.
if you install nt4 after windows2000 you have to repair the windows2000 installation.
