Sorry Mike, you were correct I could not boot to win Me and the only way was
to use a boot disk. What I meant in the last post was is there a quick way to
tell your PC to run using the boot floppy rather than going into setup (BIOS)
and changing the 1st boot from IDE 0 to floppy.

Cheers.

Canna,

You cannot boot to DOS from within Win Me unlike earlier Win 9x systems
due to the removal of real mode although you can open a DOS like window.
The only option is to use a boot floppy however there is no need to boot
to DOS to run scanreg /restore, this can be run from within Win Me (Start,
Run, Scanreg /restore) however I suggested you to use a boot floppy as I
was under the impression that you could not boot to Win Me.

though of that my be of use to other is... Is there a quick way of
booting to DOS? I went into my setup and changed the 1st boot from
IDE 0 to floppy. I was just wondering how would you do it?
