thanks a lot Guy for your reply.

You can use the partition with ME installed on it for files available to all configurations. Both XP and RH 8 can read FAT32. Don't partition the second drive before installing RH 8. Install RH 8 with at the very least 3 partitions : / /boot and a swap partition. The ME partion can be assigned at this time as well to lets say /winme . The boot loader should recognise at least one of the windows systems, hopefully the XP installation. XP should allow dual boot into ME or XP. NT and 2K does allow booting into other windows installations. The files under XP's NTFS will not be available. I use XP and RH 8 on one of my machines and use FAT32 partions to hold files I want to be accessable to both. I have tried some pretty nasty multi boot configurations before. If you are adding to a machine that has important files, make sure to back them up. You never know, I recently accidentaly reformatted my /home partition when moving back to RH 8 from the RH 8.0.92 Beta{Phoebe}. :-( Guy Galea Gilbert wrote: > Hi gurus, > > I am installing the home machine as I told you in previous emails with the > following 3 OSes: > Windoze ME (FAT32) > Win XP (NTFS) > RH 8 (EXT3) > > I have followed your advice and put the 2 windoze oses on the same > hard disk > which is a primary master.
