Windows XP and 2000 support both NTFS and FAT32. In the Me, 2000, XP
situation with 2 HDDs you create 2 partitions in the one HDD and 1
partition on the other. Each OS will be in its own partition. First you
install Windows Me in one partition, then Windows 2000 in another and
then Windows XP in the last. If you want to be able to see the contents
of every partition from within the 3 Oses you will format all partitions
with FAT32. But i can't see a reason why you want 3 windows (or 2) on
the same machine. Myself have Windows and Linux on the same machine.
