Default Installation of ME seems to be stuck

Johnny,

You stated in your first post that you had fdisked and formatted the
drive. Do this again but this time use a Win Me boot floppy, run fdisk,
click Y for large disk support when asked and the partitions will be
formatted as FAT32.

See also Microsoft Knowledge Base article 255867 - "How to Use the Fdisk
Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or Repartition a Hard Disk"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=255867) as well as the file
CLEANHD.TXT which is in the Win 9x folder on the Win Me CD and also as
KB271673 - "Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=271673).

Thanks. I see the problem now. The hard drive was one that used to
have XP installed on it. I guess the next question is how to convert
the NTFS back to FAT16 or FAT32?

Thanks again.
