Has any one successfully installed SBS 2003 on a notebook computer? Is it possible to configure in a dual boot senario, with XP PRO as the primary OS?

Yes, you can load SBS2003 on a laptop. If the purpose of doing so is for you
to learn and work or demo SBS2003, many of us have used Microsoft's Virtual
PC on our laptops rather than dual booting. You can then install SBS2003
within a virtual partition. Much easier, and you can run it while you run
your XP Pro.

Suggest getting maybe 1GB of memory (or more) on that laptop. That's what I
use.

Yes and Yes. Of course, this should be only for testing purposes and depends
on the notebook.

However, a better approach would be to use Vitual PC or VMWare (very cool!).
