vista and windows 2000 pro dual boot.

[lodore]

hello,
tomorrow im ordering a new desktop pc which will come with vista preinstalled on a 20gb partition.
and i will also ask for a second partition as 10gb for windows 2000 pro with the rest as E:
is there any problems with installing windows 2000 pro after vista?
will i have to use the vista dvd to repair the bootloader?
thanks in advance

Yes there is a problem, but for a change Microsoft has a workaround here Windows Vista no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration
Basically read the resolution section & on for how to do it.

thanks.
think im gonna use this
VistaBootPRO - Go PRO with Microsoft Windows Vista Boot Manager
i will install windows 2000 pro to the second partition install all the stuff then install vista boot pro to repair the bootloader.
