i'm trying to install Windows 2000 Professional along with Windows XP, i have been trying to partition my C: drive (20 GBs) so i can install 2000 on a new partition, i have been using Disk Management to do this......However the C: drives "layout" according to Disk Management is "partition" so it wont let me apply another partition to it...the hard drive is a replacement one does that make a difference,,,this is kinda urgent,,, thanks
