To make the dual boot happen, you'll need to use third party software to split the existing partition on the current drive. It is not recommended to install XP into the same partition as another OS.

SO, I'm trying to install a dual boot with 2000 Pro........ I've read a bunch of stuff that says just copy the boot files, then boot from the CD. I'm not sure why you are unable to boot from cd; afaik the Win2k cd is bootable. Perhaps your cd drive is the removable kind and you can't boot from that drive?

Then you can boot all of those. The 2GB is the DOS limit, which relates to loading Win3.x also. WinNT4 is limited to approx. 7.8GB, as are some Linux releases (but not too many of the current ones). And Win9x will live with the FAT16 limitations for DOS. -- DE.

Your worst case scenario would be that once you install ME, that is the only OS that will boot. Not a big deal.

WindowsNT setup will automatically configure the system for dual-boot with Windows95 with no problems. If you configure your system to have
