Loading Server 2003 onto XP Partition

What-ho fellow techies!

I've just been given a Server 2003 CD and I'm looking forward to some fun - not everyone's idea of fun, I know, but fun for me!

Now - I've a 20GB HDD with 14GB free running on a 750 Deceleron and the whole lot is set to 1 single active boot partition. In my XP Pro Disk Manager (and with Diskpart in the DOS emulator) I'm totally unable to create a new logical partition - just one big blue line (and I do have Admin rights, of course).

So, question is - am I able to load 2003 Svr onto the C drive as allowed or do I really need to reload XP and 2003 Svr from scratch and do the fdisk from there (I do have an XP Pro SP1 disk).

Thanks (as ever),

PSP
