Dual Booting.............
I am Using WinXP Pro as my current OS. But as some of my games, XingMPEG Player(not supporting acc. in WinXP), Mcafee Antivirus5.1 r not working i m thinking to load WinME (My old OS). But u know the WinXP is such that no one will roll back to WinME. So i want a dual booting between WinXP and WinME. I know if i install WinME first on c: and WinXP secondly on D: it will dual boot automatically. But the problem is that i have Installed WinXP on C: and working on it for last one month. I have updated it a lot.Dowloaded more that 10MB of update. So i donnot want to format C:. Any way by which i can install both OS without any tamper in my current OS.
The idea m thinking of is that: - I will install WinME D:. This will make my computer to boot from d:. Now i will reinstall WinXP on on my current installation on WinXP. But is it safe to do so. And will all my updates will stay intact. I will install only games, antivirus and 2-3 other program on WinME which r not working on WinXP. All my partition r in FAT 32 format. Please help me.
My System Spec.
PII 350
256MB RAM
SiS 6326 4MB VRAM
20GB (4 Partition FAT32) HDD
SB PCI 64 Sound Card
Creative infra 48x CD ROM

dual boot
u dont need a boot manager just install win me on the d: partitition an they will know how to work together.i would also recommend loosing the 4 partititions to 2 partitiitons of 6gb and 14 gb for savind alot of space.
and one more thing, i dont know if win me will work with it but if it will u should swith to NTFS file system instead of FAT32, its much more efficient.
