    I currently have Xp pro on 1 hard drive. I recently bought a 2nd h/d and added it to the system and was wondering if I could run run a 2nd O/S on it (XP home)?
    Can I just load the disk and let it install? Does it overwrite the other O/S? I have COD2 on the 2nd, would I lose that?

    I'm running a P4 3G with 1G RAM

    Why would you want Home, due to it is the same as Pro, but without all the added whistles (like domain, and IIS). You can Dual Boot, but would have to specifiy what partition you want the other OS on.

    Yes, I'm tripple bootin XP Home, XP PRO (Trial) and Sever 2003 (Trial) on my kids Emachine. You just need to have a seperate partition for each OS like "brownizs" stated.
