    Yes!

    Best way is on another partition.

    It will install even on the same drive if you tell it to use a different windows folder.

    I just don't like this, it combines the Documents and settings, and the program files folder. Additionaly if you get a virus or a disk error on the drive it could effect both OS's.

    So if you have only 1 drive partition then get Partition magic or some other partition manager and grow a clean drive and install to that.

    To do it just boot from the CD and when 2K detects that you already have an installation it will give you a choice to install on another drive if it also finds that. It is as simple as that.

    Choose the other drive and when you reboot you will have a choice screen to choose which to boot.
