Collective Brains,

I have a Dell dimension 4100 with Win ME pre-installed and I am trying to get an eval copy of win 2k pro on as a dual boot. I have a D: partition that I am trying to put the 2K on to, yet when I start I specify the installation drive as "D;\WINNT" and tick the "specify the installation folder" box. It then chugs away and goes to restart the machine. It comes up with the dual boot option to win 2k pro setup, but when it continues it blue screens with

"an exception error has occoured - 0x0000001e (0x80000003, 0x804a5b4f, 0x00000002, 0x0f5c8fb64)
kmode_exception_not_handled
address 804a5b4f base at 80400000 date stamp 384d4cfe - ntoskrnl.exe"

What the hell does that mean!!!

I can get ME up again, and I took off DirectCD in case that was effecting things.

PlEASE HELP.
