I've Win2K server installed and i'd like to add WinMe as my alternate OS. What is the best way to install so i can dual boot?

Thanks! :)

You are not going to be able to do it without reinstalling the W2K server. Dual boot(to work correctly using only installations) must be done with the 9x OS first then the NT based OS second(preferable on an NTFS partition). Application installation can be done on a common partition that is formated on FAT32. If someone is familiar with Partition Magic 5/6 they might be able to help you adjust your current installation but I don't think so.

No WinMe doesn't work on NTFS. There seemed to be a "confirmation" in earlier posts that w98SE is smart enough not to trash the w2k installation even tho if one were yo install w2k first. I have also have observed this fact myself. WinME being newer one would "think" is would do the same ^^

I don't recommend Win2K and Win ME...they are like enemy......

Beside ME sux...why install it if u have win2k...Even if you successfully installed both of it(which you will if you install win me, then win 2k).....somehow they are not going to "get along" on the same harddrive.....

My recommendation: Don't even bother w/ Win ME
