If you want to start again and intend using an OEM 'Recovery' CD to
re-install from, then read the manufactures handbook for instructions,
otherwise:-
Assuming that you are intending to do a clean install, take a look at (and
print out) the "cleanhd.txt" file in the win9x folder on your WinMe CD. You
can also view the "Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents" at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271673
Study it carefully and be sure you have a note of your 'productkey' code
(the 25 digit code that is supplied with your CD) and - if your WinMe CD is
an 'upgrade' version (rather than a 'full version') - some proof of a
'previous version' - e.g. your Win98 CD (N.B not required for OEM)
Before you go any further, you really ought to study the following KB
article, "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or
Repartition a Hard Disk"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;255867
Use your WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk to format your C: drive and remember
that ALL data will all be erased when you format the disk. Boot from the
floppy and select option 4) Minimal and at the A:\ prompt, type :-
"format c:" (no quotes and note the space between t and c and the colon
after the c)
Then Press Return.
You can download a WinMe boot disk making utility from
www.bootdisk.com
Be sure to read the instructions.
HTH and good luck
