Since I have a whole bunch of programs which don't work on my new Vista PC, I made a separate HD partition with the intention to put Windows ME from my old PC on it. Can I just copy the entire C: drive from my old PC to the new partition, would that work?

Download from Microsoft's site VirtualPC 2007 by free and after installing a legal copy of Windows ME inside the defined virtual machine run your legacy programs under the guest ME environment.
Easier to do than say and high integration with Vista can be achieved (not to say no multi boot and separate partitions to manage).
