Default Multiboot Me and Vista Ultimate

Is there a way I can perform a multiboot fuction between Vista and Windows
Me? Vista Setup will refuse to launch in Millennium.

No problem whatsoever subject to various constraints the most important of
which is that you use a third party boot manager such as BootItNG (BING)
from www.terabyteunlimited.com (NB only ONE "R", not two) and ensure that
the Win Me partition is hidden if not actually removed from the partition
table when booting to Vista. To remove the Win Me partition from the
partition table enable BING to use more than 4 partitions which then
allows you to select up to four of the partitions to be placed in the
partition table when booting each OS.

A second problem is of course is that much modern hardware such as is
required to run Vista simply cannot run Win Me due to lack of the
necessary chipset drivers, etc.

An alternative method of running Win Me with Vista is to run Win Me in a
virtual machine such as VPC running on Vista although this is subject to
the reasons for running Win Me due to the hardware limitations of the
client OS imposed by the virtual machine.

Thank you very much Mike from your prompt response. Surprisingly, I have a
nice P3 1.4Ghz machine with the works, but remains on the intel 810 chipset
platform that is specially made for Windows Me, but surprisingly works well
with Vista once you put it on a diet.

So, the old saying goes for my PC. I get the best of both worlds! :-)
