Define Virtual?
If Virtual machine yes you could but you don't get the full processing
power of the machine since you're using the host OS.
if by w2k you mean dual boot, the above *should* work

disclaimer: i never needed to do this since i do not use Windows.

Sorry, Virtual Machine ie VMware or something like it. I'm actually
close to being in the same boat. Currently a dual booter and very
close to ditching my XP altogether. 2 things are stopping me: World of
Warcraft and Native Instruments Traktor. I'm setting up a Win2K VM lab
over the weekend to see if I can run these apps in the VM environment.
