You cannot dual boot Win ME with Win 2000 running in your system now.
If you really want to dual boot it with Win 2000, format your system
as FAT32, install Win ME first and then from Win ME install Win 2000
in the same FAT 32 partition. Be careful not to upgrade WIN ME to Win
2000 during the installation of Win 2000.
Note that you will never dual boot Win ME with your Win 2000 in same
NTFS partition.
Usually it is not a good idea to have two separate Windows installations
on the same partition. With a dual boot scenario, putting each OS on a
separate partition (Win ME on a FAT32 partition and Windows 2000 on a
FAT32 or NTFS partition -- NTFS recommended for the Win2k partition
only) will eliminate possible conflicts between the two. Since your
system already has Windows 2000, installing ME on another partition or
drive without reinstalling 2k will not give you a bootloader, unless you
use a 3rd party bootloader as described in the first reply post.
Installing Win2k after ME would give you the standard Win2k bootloader
which would boot into either Win2k or ME.
