I don't think Windows ME supports the NTFS format. I would suggest installing Windows XP first then Windows ME on your second partition.

For dual boot to function, you will have to install ME first, boot to the ME disk aand partition and format from there when promptesd during the setup, then you can format one partition as FAT32. After ME is installed, boot to the XP disk and create a new partition for XP in the unpartitioned space.
