You cant upgrade, as its a different type of product.
You need to backup all your info, then install 2003 from scratch. Word of warning, 2003 gets more attack than most other server, so unless you keep all updates up-to-date, you may hit problems.
Anything to do with server will be expensive, ie. AntiVirus will be many times more than desktop models so you been warned.
Also if your copy is unlicenced or keygen type, It may die on you after some updates.

you can have two systems on your computer one on c and the other on d
no proplems with domain will appear and no data is lost except for those which is on the drive which you want to install 2003 to
you can simply copy it to another drive and every thing will be okay

you can install both on the same drive and the boot.ini file will let you choose what OS to start up.
