If your main purpose is to just have both hard drives installed and to get
the data from the 30 gig hard drive, you can just make the 60 gig with Win
2000 the master and the old 30 the slave.  Then you can boot into Win 2000
and pull your data off the 30 gig.

If however, you really need to boot into Win ME for some reason, you will
have to get a boot manager program as was previously suggested.  But to
just get the data off, you don't have to do anything special except connect
the drives as described above.
