I partitioned my HD into 3 parts and installed XP Home on one and it worked fine, then installed Win2k on the second and it has been working perfectly (did some benching). But now why I try to get back into Win XP the computer just blanks and nothing happens. Can you guys help me out? I am an uber noob at multi-booting. :rolleyes:

When you installed W2k, setup copied the ntldr and other boot files, which is why you can't boot.
Repair the XP partition (with XP media), and you should be able to boot on both partitions.
W2k can boot using XP boot files, but not the other way around.

you have to install the OS's in reverse order for them to work.
the oldest ones first, then the new ones
