How to Dual-Boot Windows 9X/Me and
2000 Pro
last updated: 6/10/01
10. In the resulting window click the Advance
Options command button to produce the following screen:
Advanced Options
You can select options to customize setup
Location of Windows 2000 files
 Copy
all setup files from the CD to the hard drive
I
want to choose the installation partition during setup
Check the last checkbox. I also
checked the first checkbox so I would not need to fetch the Win 2K CD every
time Win 2K needed to install a new driver, etc. You should be able
to leave the defaults for the Location of the Win 2K files.
11. Click OK. That will
take you back to the menu in step 10. Click Next. Setup
will then copy files to the hard disk drive and Restart your computer when
it is done.
I have omitted several restarts from
this tutorial. Just select Win 2K Setup from the list.
12. Setup will then boot to the following
screen, or something similar, depending on how your hard disk drive is partitioned:
Windows 2000 Professional Setup
===========================
Setup will install Windows 2000 on partition
D: FAT32 21242
MB (14615 MB free)
on 29307 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi
Us UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select the
file system you want, and then Press Enter
If you want to Select a different partition
for Windows 2000, press ESC.
Format the partition using the NTFS file
System
Format the partition using the FAT file System
Convert the partition to NTFS
Leave the current system intact (no changes)
If you have made a partition for Win 2K and
it does not have files that you want to keep on it then choose to
format it for NTFS (NT or Win 2K file system) or FAT (the Win 9X file system). Win
9X cannot read and write files, etc. on NTFS formatted partitions. Win
2K can read and write both kinds of partitions. If you already have
files and folders on the partition on which you want to install Win 2K and
you want to keep them you can either Convert the partition to NTFS or Leave
the current system intact (FAT). If you want to install Win 2K in the
free space on the hard disk drive as I did, then press ESC. We will
continue now assuming the the ESC key option was selected...
