I have two computers
This one which I'm currently using, which has no flaws, and Windows XP on it, and another one upstairs which has lots of difficulties doing tasks due to a computed WIN200.
My question is, if I rip the hard-drive out of the computer with WIN2000, and pop it in this WINXP comp as a 2nd drive, could I format that drive via this computer, and install the OS using my ISO (It's a legit copy of Windows, but I Lost my 2000 CD but I have the ISO of it I back everything up)

So in summary
- Pop in WIN200 Comp Hardrive into WinXP Comp as secondary.
- Format using WinXP Interface
- Run ISO using Daemon Tools and install 2000 on 2nd drive

Is that possible? I can't even think of how to explain this I've been retarded the past few days I think haha.

moved to correct forum as not a pc hardware issue. unless both computers are identical then no as you'll get the bsod(blue screen of death) when slave drive put back into original pc.
