Win2000 cannot detect ME for duel boot
This is a discussion about Win2000 cannot detect ME for duel boot in the Legacy OS category; I have ME on C drive on a 13gig. I have D on a 4gig. I put Win2000 in my CD drive which is E. It auto runs, tells asks me if I would like to upgrade to Win2000 since it is newer. If I click no, then I have the option to hit install (for duel boot), then it tells me it cannot detect my current version of Windows.

If I select yes for upgrade to Win2000, it again tells me it cannot detect my current version of Windows.
Any way around this?

The don't mess with the other partitions. just fdisk the one you need back, then format it, but not as the active drive.

You lost your D partition cause any 9x operating system can't read/write to NTFS partitions by default. You can recover it via fdisk I think. But if you are going to install Win 2k don't worry about it cause the setup will find it.

Ah, ok thanks! Im at work now, cant check about it. Going to get a W2k cd tomorrow, and try then.
Thanks!
Thanks!
If you screw up using fdisk try using partition magic. Some people find it a little easier to use.
