Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?
Not to worry, Mart, I don't plan to do 'anything' foolish and I remember
your post, but I am proceeding much more cautiously.
I just discovered something, which may keep me from advancing any further
with my attempts to install Ubuntu on my machine, as is.
I may decide to install W2k, or leave things exactly the way they are, but
as of now: no ubuntu on this machine (sorry about that, Alias).
Thanks for your concern, Mart, it's very much appreciated.
Harry.
