I've done it. It's not problem at all. Since WinXP, Win2k, and Win 2k3 are all based on the same kernel, when you install multiple OS's, the boot.ini file gets appended with the path to each new instance. This is why it's very important that you always install on different partitions when you're considering running with dual bootstraps.

Just to reiterate, I've run XP and Windows 2003 Server dual booting of the same machine before, and it's cake (actually it was XP, Win2k3, and Debian, woo hoo nerd prize for me!). I'm currently dual booting Win2k and WinXP on my work machine (and not by choice, my network is rather... fucked up) and have not had any issues.

That NOW was supposed to be a NOT. God damn malfunctioning pinky.
