If I dual boot xp first, then 2000, do I have to install the 4in1 drivers on the 2000 installation too?

thanks

id say yes since the 4 in 1 drivers are needed for whichever system you have. in your case, two o/s's

You'll have to install everything twice.

Have you got the two os's on different partitions, as it can cause a few problems if everything is installed on the same partition.

But yes, you will need to install all drivers and utilities on each os.

One quetion, why do you want both 2K and XP since they are almost the same? Although I can understand if you like both which I also do but actually am with 2K now since I like it more (XP=Spyware, Bloated, Bugs, etc) 2K is still my favorite.
Are you going to use XP for games and 2K for office and stuff like that? Mostly would say that XP is better than 2K in games but I disagree in that. Prefer 2K in most areas.
