Im going to get a new harddrive the next few days, and make that drive as boot. Im now dual booting winme and win2000 (fat32+ntfs).Im going to ghost my existing boot drive to the new one, and perhaps use partition magic to get the sizes right (going from 20 till 40). I really don't want to install win2000 all over, but I like to install winme all over. Will this work? and will the boot prosess still see the win2000, and the dual booting?
 
Since you are going to a new HD and both the partitions will presumably be bigger, you will probably want to format and partition the drive first and then use Ghost to copy each of the old partitions to each of the new ones. The bootup and everything else should stay the same and then you can reinstall Me onto that partition. You could also reinstall Me to its existing partition and then make the copy to the new drive. Whatever.
 
Ghost will not see the partitons of the drives.. they only see the whole drive, so pre formatting and partitoning wouldn't do much. The thing im worried about are the winme part. I know that I shouldn't format the c: (fat32) because the boot part would be gone. But if I manually delete the folders and after that reinstall winme. would the dual boot still work?

nelson? do you mean that I should install a new version of winme in another harddrive, then move tht partition over to the new harddrive? but what will happen to the boot.ini file?
