I already have WIn XP Home Edition running on my PC, I would like to multiboot my system with Win 2000 Pro or Server but I no longer have my original XP disc. Can I load Win2k onto my system while XP is already installed and use System Restore if I experience any problems with my XP after Win2k is installed? How can I make this multiboot go smoothly?

Normally, you would install win2k before XP, each on a seperate partition and that should give you no problem.

In this situation, Since you don't have your original XP disc, I don't think this would work. The win2k installation will go smoothly, but if you try to boot to XP, it won't boot.

How many partitions do you have right now?
