Hi, this is the point.

I have to install Win Me but i have in the same HDD XP Pro. I think i have to install Win Me 1st to get DUAL BOOT. My question is: Can i do something to install Win Me with XP pro installed??...if no what can i do to do not LOSE all Programas and Files that i have installed??? Best Regards

I may be wrong, but I would think you could use something like Partition Magic to make a new partition and tell it what OS you want on it, format that partition and then run ME setup pointed to that partition you created.

It shouldn't matter which OS you put on first because I have built a PC that I loaded Mandrake8.1 on a partition and then installed XP on another made just for XP.
