Please can you let me know if its possible to have a dual boot Win 2k Server machine with Windows XP Home. Want to use Win 2K server and networked to a second machine to 2K Pro so that I can use it to study for MCSA and then MCSE, but like the ease of use of XP Home. If this can be done which should be installed first. (PS Have looked through 30 pages of threads and couldnt find anything relating, so do apologise if this has been covered before).

Yes.
Generally install the earliest operating system first (w2k) though it shouldn't matter in this case. Its very important that you install the operating system to two different drives or paritions (ie. drive letters).
Other option - if you have the money is which can install virtual machines onto Windows 2000/XP.
