Dual Boot Windows 2000 Prof. and Windows 2003 Server

Hi People!

Wish you all a very Happy New Year!

My Question:

I have a Windows 2000 Professional Desktop with all my softwares like VS.NET, SQL Server2k and load of other stuff.

I need a dual both of this machine with Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. I have a 360 day evaluation copy from microsoft.

I tried to run Win 2K3 set up from Win2K but got message that  Win 2K Professional can not upgarde. I will be able to give the exact message later.

Please suggest the steps to do this task. It should be very simple for some one who has already done it.

Thanks
Rajeev

You simply need to create a second partition (you can use Disk Management in W2K) and install the W2K3 OS on that partition via the text setup..  Follow gemarti's article regarding the installation..
