You can do this with ME. I beleive that if you load ME first and then Windows 2000, it will give you an option of witch os system to boot into. Or you can use a program like system commander 2000 to control this. The web page address is www.systemcommander.com.
I hope this helps!!

You can do this but you should put each OS on a separate partition to avoid any problems with common files and folders. Install ME first, then launch the Win2K setup. You're only option will be install a clean copy of 2000 (upgrades from ME to Win2K are NOT supported). After completing both steps, you'll receive a boot menu on each restart to choose which OS to boot. You can set the default OS by editing the BOOT.INI files as indicated by others. Or you can set in Win2k.

You need to install Windows ME first on the Active partition (most likely the C:\ drive) and then install W2K on another partition (for instance the D:\Drive). W2K will allow you to choose between which OS to boot with from the boot menu that it?ll create after the installation is completed.
