dualbooting win me

[EIVigIVIa]

I have a 20gb hdd and have 2 partitions, both 10GB each.
Win me is installed on the first partition.

is it possible to dual boot this with win9x or win me installed on the second partition? If yes, how would i do it?

Would I use something like system commander?

Please LMK ASAP.

THANX

You want to dual boot ME with ME? Or you want win9x on the first partition and ME on the second?

You can dual boot with the setup you have now, just install win9x on the second partition (but why?).

so just install win 9x or me on partition 2 and it will pop up a message at bootup to choose?


BTW. I am doing this so i have two "different" computers on one machine.

Never have tried it, Win2k and linux will give you boot choices, dont know about 9x, but it wont take you long to try.

EDIT: If 98 doesnt have an OS switcher like 2k, try this linked

on the same note. is there a way 2 dual boot Win98SE and WinMe?

To my knowledge its not possible (without the use of 3rd party software).

Any suggestions to this? (Just don't ask why I wanna set this configuration *grin*)

Ive done this but my system is all uwscsi and at bootup I change which scsi ID I want to boot from.

GeneNg: Without a 3rd party bootloader it is not possible to dual-boot Win95/98/98SE/ME. You need a bootloader program (as linked above) to do so. Note that WinNT/2000 comes with a boot loader, so if you have that you could use it to do this.
