"Also, if your XP installation is loaded onto a NTFS formatted disk, you'll
have no way of doing a dual boot scenario, since ME cannot read, nor write
to an NTFS format, only FAT."
Tom,
I really don't know what you are getting on about!
I have Windows XP (NTFS), Windows 2000 (NTFS) and Windows 98se (FAT32) on
one hard drive. They all use a common FAT32 drive to store files/information
on so that it is usable between operating systems. I have been doing things
like this since 1992.
