Default Gateway Win ME CD will not re-install on Gateway PC

My hard disk has crashed and I need to replace it. However when I was trying
to find out what was wrong I tried to re-install Windows ME from the CD I
received with the PC.
I get an error - Not a Gateway PC. I think that is because of the corruption
on the disk - many bad sectors & corrupt registry.
I downloaded the OEM bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com, that allowed me to run
scandisk on about 34% of the disk but scanreg hung.
If I buy a replacement disk drive I think I will have the same installation
problem, do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
Mo
