They'll need to be in separate partitions or on separate drives.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to dual boot to two microsoft OS' especially when you can format XP to look extremely similar to Win 2k...both NTFS?

Hey JPLWU

What did you mean by format XP to look extremely similar to Win 2k .,....both NTFS

PLease explain how is that possible

I think he's talking about 'appearance'. XP has a new user interface, which you can turn off, so it basically looks very like 2k (btw, I've got a multi-boot system with 2k, XP and several others! - so think its quite a reasonable idea).
