2000 xp dual boot question

[decision fish]

hey guys,

i am reinstalling today to make a dual boot of 2000 and xp (i found out the hard way that it is better to put 2000 on first)

my question is: is there any way to install 2000 on first but change the drive letter so i can have C as the drive letter for the xp installation?

many thanks

This should work:

1.Format your hardrive

2.Use GPARTED Live Disc
to create 2 partitions

3.Install 2000 on Drive D

4.Install XP on Drive C.

partition magic can swap drive letters around after install

But would that mess up XP's Boot loader?
