Does anyone know how I can run my existing install fo NT4 workstation and boot into Win2Kserver release candidate 2 to mess around? In other words how can I configure a dual boot between NT4 and Win2k? I;d like to try it out without sacraficing my current install of NT!

Yes you can, while in NT4 WS insert your win2k cd and choose install, it'll then give you two options to either upgrade or do a new install, choose the new install and it will automatically add itself to the boot options and won't touch NT4 WS. I run Win95, WinNT4, and Win2k ;)

Yes you can, but be AWARE that win2000 uses a new NTFS, and your old disk tools for NT will not function.
