Currently, I am running XP Pro SP2. The hard drive has only one partition that uses NTFS. Is it possible to install Server 2003 on the same NTFS partition that XP resides? Space is not an issue.

Am I better off creating a second partition using some 3rd party software and then install Server 03?

Your help is appreciated.

Hope this helps,

Erik
