How to Dual-Boot Windows 9X/Me and 2000 Pro
last updated: 6/10/01

After the Win 2K install a boot-up looked like this on my computer:

Please select the operating system to start:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows

Use ↑ and ↓ to move the highlight to your choice.

Press Enter to chose.

Seconds until highlighted choice will be started: 29

For troubleshooting and advanced starttup options for Windows 2000, press F8

The first choice was highlighted.  The third choice started Win Me.  The second choice rebooted the computer.  I believe that choice points to the partition that does not have an operating system installed on it.
