Sorry, what I meant to say was that Windows200 Professional (atleast on my system) doesn't come up with a boot loader menu which lets me select an OS to go to (which I know was standard in both NT 4.0 server and Workstation). If there were possibly a way for me to get the menu to appear, then maybe I could point it to the win9x/ME boot on my second hard drive.... -----Original Message----- From: plug-admin@lists.nothinbut.net [mailto:plug-admin@lists.nothinbut.net]On Behalf Of Michael W.

The Win2k boot loader works in the same manner as NT4's. This means that the Win2k boot loader needs to be the boot loader in charge. > The second hard drive is formatted Fat32 and > contains no OS.

This may be a false assumption; I don't know, I haven't even looked at WinME. There is a HOWTO (or a mini one) on both setting up a WinNT/Linux dual boot and setting up a WinNT/Win9x/Linux multi-boot (I think). Treat Win2k as WinNT. I don't know if you should treat WinME as WinNT or Win9x. I would strongly recommend that you take a little time to understand the WinNT boot process. Most any book covering WinNT server or workstation administration should cover it. Michael W.
