it will mess you your harddisk(s)...try doing a 2000 clean install and then xp clean install. Take proper backup !!! and then do all stunts.... I suggest you to buy XP 😛 !! its worth it now!

i understand what u are trying to say. it will detect but it will mess up with NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM
hence your partitions are at risk. unless you know how to backup...
