How difficult is it to make a dual boot system. Current using XP but
want to go back to Win Me till they stablize the driver issues. Can
anyone point me to a link with how to instructions.
Win9x is not aware of any previously installed OS but I think ME can be
installed on a system with NT/W2k/XP without deleting the boot files.
If ME deletes the XP boot files, this can be fixed with booting from the XP
CD and choosing repair or something.
You should consider installing ME on first partition and XP on second, so
things don't get mixed together. I don't think it's possible to boot ME from
anything but the first partition.
Jone.
I have done it using partition magic 6 but I had to buy the program I don't
know of any freeware that does it as easy.

XP does if he had installed ME first. Just install XP to a seperate
partiotion and you will have a dual boot menu. This only works with
XP/Win2K/WinME./Win98/Win95.

It will work with any two NT based OS's, or one NT based and one 9X based.
The 9X based OS should be installed 1st, then install the NT based OS. The
NT based OS's are designed with that in mind
