Hi there,
Can I dual boot NT4 server/W2K3 server on a machine? What other
options I have if not possible?
Thanks, T

yes you could do it.
If you do not need specific hardware support the better option is to use a
virtual machine (if your Windows 2003 Server is powerfull enough, either
based on VMWare products or Microsoft Virtual Server / Virtual PC. Some of
them are free, some of them cost a bit, so it depends on your preferences.
Also be aware, that the newer versions may not directly include Windows NT
support any more, so you may want to use an older version.
That way you can run both systems simultaneously.
