Its all in the faq's. Read here (http://www.{$MySite}/guides/viewfaq.html?i=94), here (http://www.{$MySite}/guides/viewfaq.html?i=63)
Re:<< do i have to install all programs twice for each file system? >>
WinME cannot read ntfs partitions, so anything you want to be accessible from both winme and winxp will have to be on the fat32 partition.
Re:<< k, but i guess implied part of the question would be are there any draw backs? >>
Yes, you will be running a lousy 9x based OS. All you need is XP. 
Re:k, but i guess implied part of the question would be are there any draw backs? do i have to install all programs twice for each file system? (i know i have to install twice for dual boot anyway, for registry purposes and such, but u install it over the same directory so u arent using double the space
)

Re:Yes, you can do it.
Each partition can be a different file system.
