Then also format to NTFS instead of using FAT32 - Win2k runs alot smoother on NTFS than using FAT32..
BTW.. you can also create a dual boot if you like to do that on the very same partition (takes up about 700 Mb disk space)- which I personally wouldn't do - because it can sometime become very confusing.. this will be only possible if you are using FAT32 because otherwise WinMe will not boot anymore..then Win2K's Bootloader will add WinMe to it's Boot.ini automatically and you will have the choice to boot to either OS..

Thanks for the info. I am pretty heavy into gaming and I've read that Windows 2000 is crappy when it comes to playing the latest games. Is this true? What would make this so? Is there anything that could be done about it? I mean assuming 2000 is more stable which is cool since I like to tweak anything and everything, it'll be useless if I can't play Deus Ex.
