Can I install more than one copy of NT 4.0 in a single PC. My intention is to create a testing NT enviorment, so that I can use untested products here.
After installation I should be able select to what NT I am going to boot.

Yes you can. Install as usual, but select a path other than /WINNT to install to and give it a name. NT will change your boot.ini to show you the multiple boot choices.

I agree with Don, that is the way to go and it works fine. I have a test environment running on my desk right now like that. Two other suggestions however, name the /WINNIT file something you will recognize like WINNITWKSTATION1 or 2, etc. and edit the boot.ini file with the same info so you know which workstation you are starting on boot up. When you have multiple installs, the boot.ini file looks the same on start up and can get confusing.
