I have Win2k on my C: drive right now. and all my partitions are FAT. I have read about how to dual boot win2k and win98 and it says win98 should be installed first. i really don't want to reinstall everything. Can i just install winME on another partition and will everything work fine?

Not likely... WinME likes to boot from the c:\ drive. If you use a program like bootmagic then it will work for sure (I have done that, even with C as NTFS :))

Not exactly...

Just install winME now. You have 2k on it, it'll still dual boot. If you want to change default/loading time edit the boot.ini file.

I need more expert opinions... i have heard that certain versions of windows like c:/. but i am not sure if winME is one of them. also microsoft says:
"You must install Windows 2000 only after installing MS-DOS or Windows 95 to prevent MS-DOS or Windows 95 from overwriting the Windows 2000 boot sector and the Windows 2000 startup files. "
and i am not sure whether that includes Windows ME.
