Yes, you can, but the method depends on your configuration.
Best to post full details of your disk structure.

I have a separate copy of win ME which I would like to put on a separate
partition on the HD to use only for specific older work programs that do not
work under XP. I have fat32 on the current system as well.

thx. I have XP home version on my computer now. I believe there are two partitions; one for the main drive C, OS, programs, etc and one for the XP restore.

Is your Windows XP system partition FAT32 or NTFS?
A simple way of doing what you want to do is to install WinME
in Microsoft's Virtual PC running under WinXP - see here:

WinME does not support more than 512MB of ram. If you are running more ram
than that then consider running ME in a virtual machine using VPC. Also, if
you are using a recent mobo the chipset drivers may not support running
Win9x/ME.
If you run ME in a virtual machine then you do not have to reboot to switch
operating systems. You just run your ME virtual machine as a window on your
XP desktop. It is easily your most flexible solution.

What's the drawback of using VPC (as compared to trying to install ME or 98
the regular way)? Just that you have to have enough memory to run both
apps?

Virtual PC would be slower, which is probably not an issue with
a fairly new PC.

I think I mentioned this before, but on the VPC web page, unless I've missed
it, nowhere does it say it will run on Win XP Home Edition.
But someone here (maybe you?) mentioned that it could and would. But it's
kinda strange they won't even state it there. (Maybe they don't want to
support it?)

It isn't. My ME vm is several times faster than on the computer I used to
run ME when ME was current.

About the only time you would need to run ME natively is if there is a
specialized hardware device like a controller card for some industrial app
(cameras, milling machines, etc) or a dongle for a critical app.

By comparing WinME running on your new machine under
Virtual PC with WinME running on your old machine, you're
not comparing apples with apples. When run on one and
the same machine, a clean WinME installation will always
run faster than one running under Virtual PC. It won't have
to go through the various layers imposed by VPC.

That's what I would have expected, too.

Win98/ME certainly runs on systems with more than 512 MB. I haveColin Barnhorst said:WinME does not support more than 512MB of ram. If you are running more
ram than that then consider running ME in a virtual machine using VPC.
Also, if you are using a recent mobo the chipset drivers may not support
running Win9x/ME.
Win 98SE running with no problems in a multiboot system with 2 GB,
(Intel 845 chipset), and 98 can see all of it. The limitation is that the
file
cache cannot be more than 512 MB. All you have to do is add the line,
MaxFileCache=512000, or less, under the [Vcache] heading in system.ini.
As you said, finding WinME drivers for the latest motherboards
could be a challenge. Intel series 8xx will probably be okay, but
there may be problems with 9xx and later boards.
