will work fine make sure both are on same format (FAT32,or NTFS)if for talking sake you have win2k on FAT32 and winXP on NTFS and and third drive as FAT32 you will see only third drive from win2k but will see all from winXP,
just thought i wouldmention this.
if this isnt what you need to hear, excuse my ignorance!
all the best.

Hi Jijay,
Yes, the drives will be visible by Windows xp. The only time drives or volumes can not be seen, is when you have an older operating system like Windows 98 trying to view or detect a drive that is FORMATTED with a file system it doesn’trecognize, such as NTFS. Windows 98 can not see NTFS drives / volumes / or partitions because it is not part of its operating system.
Between 2000 and XP you should have no problem.
I would suggest that you go with one operating system in your case since XP and 2000 are similar. I prefer 2000 because there is currently more support, a longer track record for, and expandability for 2000 in terms of upgrading to server and its different versions.
There are reviews out there for 2000 vsXP, take a read:

Hope this helps!

There is no resaon that you 3rd drive would not be seen in Xp. Even though Xp is a new OS it is based off of the 2000 kernel and therefore will see the drive and its partitions weather they are fat or ntfs. If it does not see the drive check the config and make sure the drive is partitioned properly..:-)
