C: (Windows 98)

D: (Attempting To Install Window ME)

E: (Windows 2000)

I am using hyper o/s version 6 which basically allows multi boot of operating sytems.

Whenever i try to install windows me from it attempts to install itself onto c: drive and does not give me any option to put onto d: drive. Then i get message saying: Your computer already has an operating system installed which cannot be upgrade by this version of set. You need to obtain windows me upgrade.

What you can do is look into a Utility program called Partition Magic which is a software that allows you to repartition your hardrives without you needed to run a fix disk command (fdisk)

and basically add more space virtual space to existing partitions without loosing any of your original settings

CAUTION: WHEN USING PARTITION MAGIC ON YOUR HARDDRIVE YOUR COMPUTER WILL REWRITE THE BIOS TO YOUR HARDDRIVE AND THE DEFAULT BIOS SETTING WILL BECOME PROGRAMMED FOR PARTITION MAGIC ONLY
