Hello. Someone set me that, if I want to make duble boot Me and XP fine. I should make 3 partitions. C:\ - 250 Mb, and on D:, E:, install first Me on D: and later XP-on E:\. If I will make partitioning HDD like that, I will be bale to reinstal, install new OS, formatting D, E, etc, and I won't boot. Should I make it??????? Thanks

I have a dual boot ME/XP computer. Originally the OS was ME, I used the free Ranish partition manager to shrink the ME partition (FAT32) and create space for XP (a new FAT32 partition). XP saw this during installation, I opted to reformat the new partition to NTFS and installed XP in it. ME is on C:, XP is on D: and the XP dual boot manager works perfectly.
