formatting partition for dual-boot Thursday, August 16, 2007 at 6:29 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by david (41 messages posted) I started a previous thread to help me understand how to move an existing drive with legacy applications to a new system (re: re-installing OS over existing OS on a new system I have a related question but it warrants a new thread. I will be setting up a dual-boot system with WinMe and XP on same drive. According to Microsoft, WinMe must be installed first, then XP. I'm not sure how to create and format the new partition for XP while running WinMe. If I use WinMe FDISK, I assume it will format the new partition as FAT32 since WinMe doesn't support NTFS. According to MS, XP also supports FAT32, but wouldn't I be losing all the benefits of NTFS? Are 3rd-party disk utilities available (preferably freeware) that will run under WinMe, and capable of creating an NTFS partition?
