What exact error message do you get when you attempt to boot Win Me?
When you boot to DOS using a boot floppy (startup disk) and run DIR C:
what do you see listed?
I'd hold off any further attempt to use your recovery CD until you/we know
more about the problems you are experiencing.

Unable to start Windows ME, used startup disk but unable to start in
safemode, I followed help directions on startup disk but nothing will
get it started. When I did a directory of C drive no windows
directory listed. Also tried to use restore disk but I get the
message this program must be run under WIN32 when I try to boot from
the CD. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
