dual booting xp and 2003 problems

okay here's what's up:
i installed 2003, THEN xp on my system-2003 stopped working
i learned that i must first install xp before 2003, or 2003 will have
it's boot files overwritten. so i installed xp, then 2003. before the
second installation of 2003, when i booted i got a choice as to which
o/s i wanted to use. it didn't matter 'cause 2003 wouldn't work
anyway.after the re-install of 2003, i do not. i tried acronis boot
selector to enable me to have the choice again, it wouldn't recognize my
xp partition as active.. soooooo, i'm back where i started-i have been
jacking around with this for many many hours-anyone got a suggestion?


thanx

jon

i'm actually in the implementation class right now asshole-that's what classes
do-they help you learn. maybe you could take a class on getting along with
others. and making friends. and working together......oh wait-i think that's
called preschool.
