Sounds like your Hard Drive may be failing. Try running scandisk in Real
Mode DOS, booting from your WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk.

Select option 4) Minimal and at the A:\ prompt, type:
scandisk c:
Then press return. (Note the space between the k and the c and note the
colon : after the c)

If it will let you, progress with the tests (depends how bad the disk is).
If errors are reported and scandisk offers to repair, decline - and also
decline a surface scan.

Treat the disk with caution and hope that you will able to read and copy
your important files at a later time. Only attempt any further testing
if/when you can afford to lose any data. (Urgent preparation for 'sods' Law
is strongly recommended)

Good luck

Mart
