If you have ME installed on a FAT32 partition that is all you need to do, Technically. Win2K will run on FAT32, but that is not where the problem resides. I would strongly suggest not running ME and 2KPro on the same partition. You will be headedfor hours of trouble and headaches. When you install 2 Win O/S's on the same partition they start sharing files and configurations due to the unstandardized nature of application developement for these OS's I would suggest having at least 1 partition for each OS. Which means either a Format/Reload or purchasing a copy of Partition Magic. Either way will save you hours of trouble later on. Both ME and 2KPro can be installed on the same partition, but I would stongly suggest against it.
