Dual-Booting...howto install Office 2003...

I'm now dual booting between 2000 and XP Pro, and I need to reinstall Office
2003. I have three drives:
C: 2000 Pro
D: XP Pro
E: Data

Is it possible for me to install Office to E from both OS's (overwriting the
first install to the same direcory) and use the same folder for both, or
would I need to install a copy to C and a copy to D, for their respective
OS's?

Thanks for the help!

Okay, that has answers for the following setups:

FAT16 partitions (Who uses these under Windows 2000 and XP? That's
odd...but okay)

FAT32 & NTFS used in conjunction, because they're "incompatible" however,
running Windows 2000 and XP would be no problem, as they both can read all of
the above partition types.

I'm running NTFS on all three - so is it possible, or do I have to do an
install on each OS's partition?

Thanks again!

The one time I ever installed Office on a dual-boot system, I used Partition
Magic to partition the one physical hard drive, and installed Office in each
partition (it did work that way). I've never tried what you're proposing, so
I can't say with any certainty whether it will work or not. My
interpretation of the article is that if everything is NTFS, then you should
be fine installing to the same path on E:, because the article says to
install to the same path if everything is FAT16. But I think you already
know more about this than I do...
