Two drives are good....but, you should (MUST) install ME on C; otherwise, you will have problems. Win95/98/ME are designed to be installed on C. XP can go anywhere. I am quoting from numerous sources when I say...put it on C!

The question is...what do you already have installed, win98?

If you want to add ME to the C drive, you will need some software that will safely re-partition the drive and create another active partition for ME. There are several options, but the one I use is System Commander 7, which handles everything from re-partitioning to guiding you thru adding a new OS. It also acts as my os loader. I thought my $60 was well spent.

Good luck!
