Default Multiboot Me and Vista Ultimate

Thank you very much Mike from your prompt response. Surprisingly, I have a
nice P3 1.4Ghz machine with the works, but remains on the intel 810 chipset
platform that is specially made for Windows Me, but surprisingly works well
with Vista once you put it on a diet.

So, the old saying goes for my PC. I get the best of both worlds! :-)

An alternative method of running Win Me with Vista is to run Win Me in a
virtual machine such as VPC running on Vista although this is subject to
the reasons for running Win Me due to the hardware limitations of the
client OS imposed by the virtual machine.

No problem whatsoever subject to various constraints the most
important of which is that you use a third party boot manager such as
BootItNG (BING) from
www.terabyteunlimited.com (NB only ONE "R", not
two) and ensure that the Win Me partition is hidden if not actually
removed from the partition table when booting to Vista. To remove
the Win Me partition from the partition table enable BING to use more
than 4 partitions which then allows you to select up to four of the
partitions to be placed in the partition table when booting each OS.

A second problem is of course is that much modern hardware such as is
required to run Vista simply cannot run Win Me due to lack of the
necessary chipset drivers, etc.

Is there a way I can perform a multiboot fuction between Vista and
Windows Me? Vista Setup will refuse to launch in Millennium.
