I know, I know its not a good idea, but can I install Windows 2000 in a 1
partition fat32 drive alongside my existing installation of windows me? If
so, how can acheive this incredulous ambition and what downsides are there
likely to be?!

Many thanks for anyone who can help.
 
Hello,

First, please have a look at:

217210 How to Multiple Boot Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows
95,
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=217210

This article describes how to configure an Intel-based computer to multiple
boots Microsoft operating system, including How to do, What to do and What
not to do. So I think it can be of assistance in your issue, but I still
considering it as a bad idea.

Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroup.

Never attempt to install two different Windows operating systems in the same
partition. If you do, it's likely you'll experience conflicts, file
corruption and instability.
