Why don't you do the 4029 then the 4051? And the bootmenu can say whatever you want. Probably just will SAy Longhorn and Longhorn. But gove it a shot, if you do do it 4029 then 4051 you will need to copy the 4051, NTLDR and NTDETECT, back to your boot drive. Good luck.

When you say Installing "After" do you mean as an upgrade from 4029 to 4051 or as above suggests a seperate install??

If you wish to install Longhorn 4051 on a system with 4029 already installed you will have to create a seperat partition (Min 3GB) for 4051 to be installed.

Once installed you will have to edit the "boot.ini" file the root/active partition and it will dual boot just like any other two OS's

I would not recomend upgrading to 4051 from 4029 as the PDC versions which support upgrade seem to have more faults than a clean install.
