Windows ME (Sep 2000) / Re: understanding the 1024 cylinder boundary
« Last post by chrisNova777 on Today at 10:09:08 AM »so basically if your installing any version of win9x or winME
best common practice would be to install winME first on the first partition and make it 8GB or under
then you can install windows XP using the rest of the drive, and add secondary drives + partitions for more FAT32 space later on after the dual boot of ME/XP is complete.
but the WinXP partition remains Hidden to win9x, because win9x cant have more than one visible primary partition
i used partition magic 8.0 to help with this
