It can be done, but at the very least you should put them on different partitions.

Well, run the windows XP setup from Windows 2000 and when you're prompted whether to upgrade or new installation, select "new installation" and chose the drive letter in a further step. There you go. Windows XP + Windows 2000 Pro

When installing XP, did you change the directory in which it was installed to? If you didn't and it was installed to its default location, then don't worry about it. Multiple installations of XP in the same directory is not a threat. It simply copies the program files over and over but does no harm and takes up no more space on your harddrive than a normal installation. \n\nIf you did change the directory that XP installs to, then you should just start fresh over and reformat and do it again --- once!

Do you mean that you are running a pirated XP? Well, I used to have one until a month ago. Its not that bad, but there are many security lapses, of course. I am now using genuine XP Pro now, and its much better. Moreover, you cannot also get any of the new Microsoft products, like Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Defender or WMP 11. Still, if you cannot afford a genuine XP, then the pirated one is OK. By the way, a free and open source Operating System called Ubuntu is available over the net. My friend says its pretty good, and has all the basics of XP Home edition. You may like to have it.\nhttp://www.ubuntu.com/\n\nDon't do anything yourself. Hire a technician or a professional.

Grab the updates for xp home ( ie xp service packs ) SP 1 and defintly 2 includes some support for large hard drive support. The main factor in getting large hard drive support working ( will be support for it in the bios ) namely 48-bit LBA ( Large Block Addressing ). Restart the machine and make sure that this is enabled in the bios, if you dont have it in your bios you will most likely have to do a bios update and then enable it.\n\nLook here :\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B303013\n\nhttp://www.largeharddrivesupport.windowsreinstall.com/winxp.htm\n\nHopefully this helps :)

Your HD is to small, If your Total HD is 2GB, It take 2GB of Total Partition  to put XP on the Disk.\nHarry

Use partition magic, unless you want to start from scratch:\n\ncreate partition for win xp...install\ninstall win98 on other partition\nconfig xp for boot menu

A home user can use a windows xp disk on one computer as many times as he/she wishes.

no you wont be able to restore your computer with xp pro or home since you have sp2 installed on your computer.  the best way would be to back up your data somewhere else and then format it with the cd and reinstall the OS

There should really only be XP Home Full or XP Home Upgrade.  I'm not aware of any variations on the home edition in terms of versions.  And there's no volume licensing for it, so any version of home should work unless you try to install the full version and only have an upgrade key - then you'll need a key from a previous version of Windows.

I would go with xp home.  It's cheaper than pro and has basically the same features.  All xp pro has on it are a few security features, like better password protection on startup.

Hehe ... if u just download it ... nothing happends.\nIf u try to install it over it, by Updating Win98 to WinXp, ... if everything goes smoothly nothing happens either.\nIf some registry entryes goes mixted up then u might not be able to load some of the programs and your system will run slow.\nI recomand that u install the Win Xp version on a diffrent partition ... formated NTFS for better performance and encryption (security).

Install something else FIRST.   If you have a Windows XP home, install that.   Check the BOX that your XP pro came with.  It should say what you have to start with.
