    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this question.

    *I want to install an evaluation edition of Windows Server 2003 on my second hard disk and set the partition size to 5gb though it has 200gb. I don't have the serial card yet so that is why I'm just using this drive for educational reasons.

    *On my first drive I have Windows ME and want to ensure that remains untouched in this process.

    I basically want to be able to start my computer up and choose which OS I want to boot from and train myself to use the Windows Server 2003 OS.

    Any suggestions on doing this smoothly would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to TechSpot Forums

    Doesn't it work if you just install it normally?

    The textmode setup should ask you where to install 2003 and/or to create partitions. Depending on your computer it might have some problems with the 200 GB drive, as it is over 137 GB and therefore would require 48-bit addressing support, but if you just create a small partition in the beginning of the drive it shouldn't be a problem.
