I have windows XP already installed on an NTFS partition (C:) and I have an
empty FAT32 partition (D:).
Is it possible for me to install Windows ME on the FAT32 partition and
configure my PC to dual boot without removing windows XP first.
Can someone please point be to a website with instructions on how to do
this?

Thanks in advance

Lee

Doug Knox's tip won't work for you because your startup partition (C:)
is NTFS. If your BIOS allows you to change which HDD is the active boot
disk, you can just use that means to select between the two OS's.

Other than that, you can use a third-party boot manager. You can find a
variety of instructions and tutorials at the websites of various
third-party boot managers, such as BootIt NG, XOSL, GAG, PowerQuest's
PartitionMagic/BootMagic, and V-Com's System Commander, to name some of
the most popular choices.
