Installing WinME as a dual boot with Win2k

[pancho619]

I already have Win2k installed on my system and I want to install WinME on my system as a dual boot.....some software I have requires that I use WinME or Win98 to run it so I have to run a dual boot. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

jospfstalinator got it.

You've got to install ME first or it will overwrite the MBR of the W2K install.
You could use something like partition magic but that requires some fancy footwork to setup the W2K bootloader.

I believe that you don't have to reformat your hdd. Go ahead and install Me. After the installation just pop your w2k CD into the drive boot off the CD and tell the w2k installer to repair the damaged w2k. That should fix it up.
