If I'm not mistaken, you can only boot a Windows partition from a master drive. Or at least, the boot sector must reside on the master drive; given that, booting multiple operating systems from multiple disks will be difficult, but dual booting from one master disk is easy.

Anyway, I think to answer your question, you need to change the jumper on the drive to "Master" to get the drive to boot properly, but just know that only that partition will boot, you will not be able to select the other operating system (whichever it may be).

If you want to dual boot both XP Pro and W2k, repartition your master drive the way you want (minimum of 2 partitions). Now install W2k FIRST onto the FIRST partition on the disk. Now install XP Pro onto the SECOND partition on the disk.

You can use the remaining portion of the first disk and all of the second disk for additional storage.

XP Pro will rewrite the boot sector of the disk and will recognize the W2k partition as bootable and will add it to the boot menu. The only thing you need to know now is that ALL post-BIOS and pre-Windows boot management is handled by the XP Pro installation.
