I had ME on this machine and wanted to dual boot Windows 2k. I made a 2nd partition after the ME partition. The new partition is NTFS. Then just installed Windows 2k onto the NTFS partition. Now when I boot up it gives me the choice of ME or 2k. Nothing to it. But if you don't want to lose your current install of XP you'll need a utility like Partition Magic etc to create the new partition without losing the data on the original.

i've had that problem before...... i quickly learned that, You cant do much to ur C: if you have XP installed on the same drive with partitions.. like XP installed on the E: of the same HD...

first of all...... how many partitiions do you have setup for ur 40gb drive? and where do you have XP
