Default Windows doesn't load

OK, so you've reformatted the drive (so it's a blank, FAT32 partition),

now you're installing WindowsME Upgrade Edition ?

using a Windows98SE CD as "Proof of Previous OS" ?




So when it asks your for previous OS, put the 98CD in and point it to
your CD drive, remembering to add a letter to your CD drive, or at least
note what letter the CD drive now is, ie: what's usually D: is now E:
(because some twerp at M$ decided their ramdrive should take precedence
and screwed up an entire generation of people trying to
troubleshoot/maintain/install their system).

Or clean your CD with a damp cloth.
