I guess the title said it all, and I know this topic has been beaten to death but "search" doesn't seem to be able to find anything.

Is this possible to do this? WinME after a Win2k Pro installation?

are u looking to dual-boot? Yes, you can do this... after the winME install, pop in the win2k CD and do a repair installation... that will give you the option to dual-boot...

Hi, about the repair installation, from what I understand that replaces your registry and overwrites every file in /system32. Right now I have SP1 installed, wouldn't that cause any problems?

just run this:

setup /ntldr

this will install WinME, and not overwrite the master boot record. Then all you need to do is add WinME to the Win2k boot.ini file.
