Windows 2003 Dual Boot

I currently have 2 partitions: Win XP & Win ME & use Boot Magic for boot up. I was wondering if i could do a clean install of windows 2003 over windows ME, having Win XP & Win2003 as dual boot without any problems, would i have to remove bootmagic first? I aint taking no risks with this, it screwed me up before.

HEHEH the only way I know of to not take risks is to clone the drive before you do it, and do the upgrade on the cloned drive. Let us know how it goes. ;)

thats right -> format the win ME partition & install 2003. Partitioning, merging & all is a dangerous game, but u aint gonna know if it works unless u try it ;) shouldnt be a problem tho, im hoping.
