what about dualbooting? if you have a win98 or me disc, you can set up your
hard drive by partitioning it into two and installing win98 or me to the C:
drive, with winxp going to the D: drive. don't do winxp first or it won't
work(critical system files get overwritten by win98) but no guarantees about
me anyway. once i dualbooted with home and pro and it was a success
