Windows ME installation with XP on C:

[dom747]

Hi,

Win ME won't install if an NTFS system is installed on C.

Is there any way of doing this without having to change drive letters ? I don't want to reformat C as I can't do a backup at the moment: my CD burner only works on ME !

The XP bootloader isn't a problem: I just need to get the thing installed and can look after the booting with LILO.

Thanks in advance.
