I want to run a duel boot with Windows 2000 and ME where can I find infor about setting this up, or would I be better off running 98se and 2000?

The way to do this is to start off with installing Windows ME. Preferably don't let Windows ME create a partition the size of the whole of your disk. Then install Windows 2000 on to a seperate partition.

Thanks

this is from non formatted or non-partitioned drives.
install me on a 2.0 gig partition. after seting this up, Install win2k on a 2.5 gig partition. use the rest of your hard drive for storage and programs. If you really want to get creative, create an additional partition. Set the size for 1 gig and move your swap file to this location. this will keep the swap file drive from being fragmented.

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.
