I created a 2nd primary partition to install it on. I currently have Windows Server 2003 installed, but I would like to install Windows 2000. When I put the Windows 2000 CD in, it says I can't install it because it is older than Windows 2003.

How do I install this older version?

That seem looks like you are trying to Install from within Wondows.

You need to boot from the 2KCD to install. If is is not a Bootable [upgrade version] you will need to make some bootable floppys, which you can do from the 2kCD.

Take Care,
