backup boot info for xp -- rdy for dual.

Comment:

I want to dual boot win xp and win 2k. I have c:/winxp 40gig, d:/20gig set out for win 2k. What I wanna do is be able to remove the 20 gig partition to get rid of 2k later on. How do I back up current boot information so I can restore it after the win2k boot loader takes over?
