Dual boot
I have recently duel booted with those 2 operating systems, all i did was install me, and then i put in the win2k disk and one of the options when installing was to either "upgrade" or just plain install it. I just did the regular install, and it worked fine. Just remember dont convert the drive to nfts or winme wont work anymore.

Qwazy is correct.
Best of yet, it is best to have different partitions for WinME and Win2k. You will need approximately atleast 500mb for WinMe and 1.5Gb for Win2K of harddrive space.
Starting from a bare harddrive, you want to boot into DOS and issue an FDisk command (if you decide to create several partitions.) Follow the prompt...reboot once finish. Format and you are ready to make the OS installation.
Install WinME first on the root C:\ drive. Once you are finish with the initial configuration and setup you are then now ready to install Win2K.
Install Win2k on the next partition d:\ You will be given the chance where you would like to install it. Setup and configure.
I hope this helps.

alright, thx a lot, all clearly understood....
Just want to know what ppl usually do with dual boot? i mean why would people want dual boot of ME and 2K? i want to do it cuz i heard that 2K is a lot more stable and i want ME for games. But is there anything cool that 2K can do and ME can't? Like stuff that related to networking..
