I know, I know its not a good idea, but can I install Windows 2000 in a 1
partition fat32 drive alongside my existing installation of windows me? If
so, how can acheive this incredulous ambition and what downsides are there
likely to be?!
This article describes how to configure an Intel-based computer to multiple
boots Microsoft operating system, including How to do, What to do and What
not to do. So I think it can be of assistance in your issue, but I still
considering it as a bad idea.

Never attempt to install two different Windows operating systems in the same
partition. If you do, it's likely you'll experience conflicts, file
corruption and instability.
