In dual booting you do NOT need to have tyour operating systems on different drives at all. You can have as many OS on one drive as you want provided you have the required space on the drive, BUT, you must install the oldest FIRST. So for example if you had XP,98 and 2000, then you would first install 98, then 2000, then XP. So in your case you should install XP, remember that XP can restart your computer several times in the course of installing, once install is completed you should ensure XP is working correctly, and THEN install 2003. I have completed this as part of a course and have done this several times and it's worked every time, the copy of 2003 I have is an evaluation copy also. With XP running you can put the 2003 disc in the drive and start installation, read the screen options carefully and you should have one which gives you the option to upgrade XP or perform a clean install. Select clean install, NOT upgrade. DOn't worry about setting up the dual boot as this will be done for you.
