YOu can have tehm on teh same partition, but it gets ugly real fast...

I was running a tripple boot

ME, 2000, and XP all on the same partition. They all worked fine, but my applications all got installed on C:\program files, and once I installed them in XP, they didn't want to work in ME or 2000. SO save yourself a headache and use separate partitions.

with this crap about XP allowing Microsoft "extracting" personal info from your system does anyone know if the registry is shared between 98/ME and XP. I don't want them knowing **** 'bout me...
