Since officially MS does not support 98se and back anylonger. Every one is gonna have to do something soon. ME is the only certified drivers that can be had as of now. When they drop support for ME in the next year, or so they will no longer be 9x drivers offically anyway.
I had her system on W2k and she just was not as familiar with it as 98se. So she asked if I would put 98se back on it.
As far as placing ntfs and fat32 on the same drive is not hard at all.
All you need is the W2k install disks. Format the whole drive in fat32. This will include the small partition for the OS, and the large partition for data & programs. When you install W2k, you will be asked if you want to format the partition in ntfs or leave it as it is. Select ntfs and away you go.
