What's a very safe way to add WinXP to WinMe system?

Actually the easiest way to do this would be to switch the boot order in the bios so that the drive with ME on it is not a bootable drive according to the bios and make you XP drive the bootable one. Or you could always jumper your Me drive to slave and your XP drive to master (soon to be xp...
