Here's my situation:
 
I have XP Pro installed on my C:\ drive (on my PC).
 
I want to install Server 2003 on an extra drive I bought for testing purposes.
 
I've installed the extra drive, called it T:\, but I can't install Server 2003.
 
What I want to do is have XP as a default for booting, and only when I'm testing my web design stuff, I want to boot to Server 2003.
 
Is this possible, or am I crazy for thinking I could do this?
 
Thank you in advance for any help you could give.

OP
The problem is not just on the dualboot part. The problem is that when I put the Server 2003 Installation CD in, and power up my pc, I've set the BIOS settings to boot from CD first. Well, it bypasses it completely and starts XP. If I go from XP and start the Server 2003 setup, it does start it, the problem is it wants to install it on the C: drive, and won't let me install on the T: drive, which is what I want to do.
 
How could this be solved.
 
THanks for your help!
