Installation of ME seems to be stuck
Hi Mike,
I checked my partitions and it is as follows: 1. 6997 (NTFS). 2. 7585 (Ext
Dos). 3. 8. Does this help?
Thanks
Johnny

How big is your hard disk, or rather the partition to which you are trying
to install Win Me? I ask as the message you are seeing could possible be
the result of attempting to install Win Me to a large empty partition,
possibly 64GB and setup may not be able to handle the resulting large
integer for the free space. A problem that I know can cause false error
message in other areas.

I have a PC that I wanted to do a full re-installation of ME. I did
fdisk and format. Then I rebooted the PC with the ME disk and went to
start windows with CD-ROM support. This did not get me the normal set
up procedure screen, so I typed e:setup. It went into scandisk and
reported nothing was wrong and left me with a e: prompt and a message
saying that "Windows setup requires 15328640 bytes available on my c:
drive". Can someone give me a few pointers as I have no clue how to
proceed from here? Thanks for the help in advance.
