Install W2K to its Own Partition after Installing XP

Use a 98 Startup disk and run WINNT.EXE from the I386 directory. After 2K is installed, boot with the XP CD and at the Setup/Repair screen, choose Repair. In Recovery Console, use the following commands:

1) FIXBOOT, answer Yes
2) CD \
3) ATTRIB -H NTLDR
4) ATTRIB -S NTLDR
5) ATTRIB -R NTLDR
6) ATTRIB -H NTDETECT.COM
7) ATTRIB -S NTDETECT.COM
8) ATTRIB -R NTDETECT.COM
9) COPY X:\I386\NTLDR C:\
10) COPY X:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\

In Steps 9 and 10, X is the letter of your CD-Rom drive.
