Dual Booting Windows 2000 and Windows ME
Hello. I am trying to figure out to dual boot Windows 2000 and Windows ME. I know that you can partition your drive but can you dual boot on Master/Slave setup. Installing one on the Master drive and the other on the Slave drive? This would be ideal for me. Any advice and/or good links would be greatly appreciated. This is actually for an older HP computer I have. thanks

Yeah of course you can. Just set the jumpers to Master on one of your HDDs and install you're first choice of OS. Then for the second, set the jumpers to Slave and install the other OS.
When the evaluation copy of WINDOWS VISTA went public, I installed VISTA on my second HDD and dual booted XP and VISTA. |

I already installed Win2000 on one hard drive and WinME on another. Can I just set one to master and one to slave.

I did try just setting Win2000 to master and WinME to slave but I don't get a message to boot in WinME; Win2000 in properties startup doesn't see anything else;so there must be some other setting somewhere: BIOS maybe. Both drives are formated to FAT32.

You'll either have to look for a third party boot manager or start over and install ME first.

are both your HDDs on the same ribbon cable? if not, you want to put them both on the same ribbon cable so it will act as Slave and Master.. if they're not on the same ribbon cable then it will act as Master 1 and Master 2 since ribbon cables can act as a master/slave setting...

i would advise formatting both HDDs (but back up ur data 1st of course) and install the older OS on the 1st HDD and the newer OS on the 2nd..
hopefully this will fix your problem.. Last edited by faint545; 12-22-2006 at 10:29 AM. |

Technically, Win ME is the older of the two...But I would start over too..
