I have XP on the C drive, how do I put 2000 on the D drive?

How to install a dual system, you will know it after looking at it.

Generally speaking, you will want to start with an earlier version, that is, if you want to install a dual system of Windows XP and Windows 2000, you must install 2000 first and then install Windows XP. If you don't want to do this, follow the method below to teach you a good way to install it directly.

You'll need to do some preparation first:

The first is the Windows 2000 installation CD. You also need to have at least two hard disk partitions, and it is not recommended that you install both systems into the same partition when installing dual systems, which may cause a lot of trouble in the future. If you've done all of the above, then go ahead with our installation.

Suppose your Windows XP is installed on the C drive, and you want to install Windows 2000 to the D drive, then just use the Windows 2000 disc to boot the system, run the installer directly and install it to the D drive, but in this way, the dual boot menu will be invalid after installation, and you can only enter Windows 2000. Here's why:

In the boot of the Windows NT system, a lot of important system files are used, and when installing 2000 on the machine with XP installed, the NTLDR and two files of the XP will be replaced with the files with the same name in the lower version of Windows 2000, and these two files in Windows 2000 cannot boot Windows XP. So our fix is to replace the file that was overwritten by Windows 2000 with a file from Windows XP.

Both of these files are stored in the root directory of the C drive, but they have default implicit, system, and read-only attributes, so you can't replace them with the usual method, but first remove their implicit, system, and read-only attributes. Here's how:

Enter Windows 2000 and enter them separately in Runtime.

attrib c:tldr –s –r –h

attrib c:\ s –r –h

Press enter after each line is entered. At this point, you've completely removed the systemic, implicit, and read-only properties of both files. Now copy these two files with the same name from the i386 folder of the Windows XP installation disc to the root directory of the C drive and overwrite the original files.

At this point, your dual-boot menu has been restored. However, to be on the safe side, we can hide the two files by typing them separately at runtime

attrib c:tldr +s +r +h

attrib c:\ s +r +h

This re-assigns the two file system, implicit, and read-only properties.

Reboot it and see that your dual-boot menu is completely normal.

Put the 2000 system disk that can automatically **. Restart your computer. Set the optical drive as the first way to read. Then it will be read automatically, and then the installation screen will appear. There is an interface to choose in which zone to install.

Start XP, put in 2000 disk, install 2000, put in XP when finished, repair XP, get dual system boot menu.

You should install Win 2000 first, and then enter the 2000 interface before installing XP

Of course, you can install the xp installation system, if you don't have a grid, it's just the first trouble to install the c disk, what you said The documents and**collection are all right, that is, the things you originally installed by Wang have to be re-installed by bending your hand Because the registry is gone, it will take about half an hour to reinstall It depends on what the system disk is.
