You can't. If you want to have dual boot - WinNT/Win2000 with Win9X,Me - the primary partition can't be NTFS(only NT4 with min SP4 and Win2000can make dual boot on NTFS). It must be FAT or FAT32.

Your primary partition should be FAT or FAT32. You should install Windows ME to this partition first.
After you install Windows ME on primary partition, you should create and install Windows 2000 on second partition. You can create and format second partition (with FAT/FAT32 or preferably NTFS) during Windows 2000 installation.
