Win2k3/WinXP Dual Boot

Hello,
I want to run a dual boot PC w/Win2k3 & WinXP since i am learning both these OS's in school. I was able to load Win2k3 onto my C: then load WinXP onto my D:. Now i cannot load into Win2k3 at all. Not even in SAFE MODE. In the past i was able to load Win2k3 but i had to load with VGA enabled and if i changed my desktop resolution any higher my system would crash. I can load into WinXP with no problems at all, only Win2k3 is causing a problem. No error messages, just a blank screen after i choose which OS to load. Any help?

UPDATE...I am able to load into both OS's now, but I can only startup Win2k3 w/VGA enabled. Whenever I increase the resolution on the desktop it crashes. The drivers for my video card (Diamond Viper V770) were already recognized when i loaded Win2k3. Do you think this driver is giving me the problem with only being able to load the OS w/VGA enabled?
