For dual boot, install the older OS first, then the newer OS.

From Server 2003 help files:

"Updated: January 21, 2005

Computers that contain Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003

You can set up a server so that it contains both Windows 2000 and
Windows Server 2003. If you plan to do this, note the following:

• Install each operating system on a different partition or, for dynamic
disks, on a different disk, and install the applications used with an
operating system on the same disk or partition with it. If an
application is used with two different operating systems, install it in
two places.

• Windows Server 2003 must be installed last. Otherwise, important files
that are needed for starting Windows Server 2003 will be overwritten.

• If the computer participates in a domain, use a different computer
name for each installation. Because a unique security identifier (SID)
is used for each installation on a domain, the computer name for each
installation must be unique, even for multiple installations on the same
computer.

• If you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) on a computer containing
Windows 2000 and a product in the Windows Server 2003 family, the
encrypted files will not be readable between the different installations
unless you take one of the following approaches:

• One approach is to ensure that all the installations are in the same
domain and that the user of these installations has a roaming profile.

• Another approach is to export the user's file encryption certificate
and associated private key from one installation and import it into the
other installations. "

With virtual wear, I don't see much point in dual boot anymore but I
remembered this from the server and professional exams.

Re: STARTUP PROBLEM
 

Remember this rool. Older OS firstttttttttttttttttttt..

Also you might be able to recover server 2003 by just copying
ntdetect.com and ntldr file from windows server 2003 CD.

Good Luck
