How to do OS selection in DOS ?

OS selection in DOS

I would like to install Windows (ME) on a new HDD along with my existing HDD that has Windows 2000 on it. I need to add lines into the autoexec.bat to give an option of which OS to select and if possible a time limit.

Thanks

you try running the WinME CD within WIn2000.

usually windows detects and allows you to install both OS with a menu of selection when bootup.

I know that is true of WinXP, I didn't know it was the same as 2000.

But won't it say that it can't install an earlier version of Windows because it is a later version, that's what XP says.
