plz help me

now ur prob. is correct. i hv tried doing the same thing wht you hv done and i observed that if xp is installed first, and then u install 2k, it does boot to 2k but not xp. so i thnk since 2k is junior to xp, u wud hv to install 2k first and then xp.

anyway try doin what vishal says:

m agree wid "the unknown",i might have install xp prior to win 2k........n regarding reinstalling xp better to check ur cd and try wid another one.....
