So I decided that both Win2K and WinMe are the OSes with all the data you don't want to lose. So my point was that if something goes bad you'll be able at least to recover you present state with Win2K recovery console.

I have a Pentium III PC with Windows ME and Win2k Pro currently dual-booting. For reasons not important to this question I want to keep both current OS's and add FC3.
I am well practised in setting up the proper partitions for such an installation but am wondering in advance if anyone knows if all 3 OS's will now be available in the FC3 boot loader, which I usually choose as the default Grub loader.
Thanks in advance for advice / warnings.
If you install grub in the MBR, you'll get a choice of two entries in the grub menu, one for FC3 and one for DOS/Windows. When you select the DOS/Windows entry, you'll get the Win2K boot menu that you currently see, allowing you to choose between WinME and Win2K.

Thanks for that quick answer Paul. I will cross my fingers, take a deep breath, and go for it. And yes, most importantly backup anything important to CDR before starting.

recovery console (if something goes wrong).

Just for my own clarification and for archive readers - I assume you mean the Recovery option on the #1 installation CD? (not something I've had to use yet)

Sorry that I wasn't clear enough
Good luck.
