You probably will be able to run any programs from the Win2K HD on your WinXP HD; however, in order to do so, you'll probably have to re-install the programs (and any patches) from within WinXP. The reason for this is that the registry in WinXP needs to have the settings required for the programs to operate. Simply starting the .exe from the Win2K HD from within WinXP will most likely result in errors and could potentially corrupt either your WinXP system or your Win2K programs.
The best thing to do is simply re-install the programs into your WinXP HD. Keep in mind, though, that some Win2K programs may not work under WinXP (and vice-versa).
