Many of us are faced with the question: upgrade to Windows ME or stick with Windows 95? Try Windows 2000 or keep rolling with Windows 98 SE? General consumers should stick with ME (and power users should bear with me). So where's the tip? You can have the best of both worlds with a dual-booting system. The easiest way to create one is to: install Windows 98, then run the Windows 2000 installation routine within Windows 98. For the best compatibility, you'll probably want to stick with a FAT32 format. Was that the tip? Hardly. When (or if) you decide to remove the original 9x OS, your computer may think it's still there. See that BOOT.INI in your root directory? Move it elsewhere and your boot won't skip a beat.
