Do you mean; without overwriting it? if so you can parallel install by directing the OS toa different path i.e. WinNT1, if you don't parallel Win2000 will overwrite the NT.

If you mean install W2K on a PC with NT, withour starting up NT, then yes.

Either boot from the W2K CD,
or boot from a W2K startup disk.

I believe that there is a utility on the W2K CD to create a startup disk set.

If not, check out www.bootdisk.com
They have boot disk images for most OSs.

If you mean install a W2K upgrade without first installing NT, the answer is still yes.
You will need the NT install CD to prove that you qualify for installing the upgrade version.
