The answer is that you can use any drive recognized by Win2000, so you would
be able to install it in the base WinME drive. However, it must be installed
under the Win2000 OS. When selecting your partition size, don't forget that
most programs you install under Win2000 is add files to that folder. The
best approach is to use Partition Magic to partition your drives as it
permits you to resize them at any time. You'll probably find that you prefer
operating programs under Win2000 if possible.
You may have to make changes to your WinME system.ini file to permit it to
share its swap file with Win2000. Under Win98, you must use, under [386Enh],
"PagingFile={swap file path}\pagefile.sys" and "PagingDrive={swap file
path}". I have put my swap file in a separate partition. Under Win2000, you
can separate your swap file into different locations, so if you want a
larger swap file under Win2000, you can just add another location to the
WinME location. You should reference the correct procedure in the Windows
Knowledge Base.
Lastly, all your hardware that is not compatible with Win2000 must be
disconnected or disabled. Win2000 will attempt to load the incompatible
hardware and crash. I do this occasionally when I forget to turn off my
EZFlyer drive, for which I haven't been able to find a driver.

Subject: Need help on Win2000 instal
I am in the process of installing Win2000 on a Win ME
laptop. The setup procedure told me create a partition
for Win2000 if I want to keep Win ME and have a dual
boot system. My question is: Do I install TS2000 in
the same partition where Win2000 is in? In other
words, can I install TS2000 in C:\program files to
avoid a large partition for Win2000?
Thank you for your help
