I have it installed and it is working fine for me. Just follow the instructions in the "cracker box". The one thing I thought that was really cool was I did not even have to set up my internet. During the install it asked for a computer name and a workgroup and that's it. The only problem I had was I had to take space away from my Win2k partition and now Win2k won't start up.

NOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T DO THAT!!!!!!
You need to partition your disk. Make a separate partition for XP. I gaurantee if you install on top of ME you will be sorry because there will be no way to go back.

Maybe there was some confusion. I agree with mikemean406. When I said dual boot, I meant on separate partions, preferably separate HD's. For me "ON TOP" means an upgrade.

hum....XP and ME is on the same platform, can u do dual boot..? Or you can do a upgrade over it?
