Default Windows Millennium replacement os disk

I *really* must try and put that onto a web page at some point, Mike - fancy
trying to write a set of instructions that I can flesh out?
If not (and I can think of about 50 reasons!g) then I'll have a go
myself...... wanna proof-read it?
I'm still thinking about the reinstall/update stuff, and how best to present
it......perhaps this should be added to the mix?

Nowhere legally unless you happen to have either a Technet or MSDN
subscription. Your best bet is probably to look on eBay.

You don't say why you need a disk. Do you have a PC currently running Win
Me? Does it have a CD writer or do you have access to a CD writer? If
you have a PC running Win Me look for the file BASE2.CAB, by default this
is normally located in either a C:\windows\options\install or
C:\windows\options\cabs folder. If you can locate this file the folder
containing it is most likely to contain all the files necessary to install
Win Me. The size of the folder should be around 150MB or so containing 25
files with a CAB extension together with a file named setup.exe amongst
the others files. Burn the contents of this folder to a CD, if you don't
have a CD burner on the Win Me PC copy the files to a usb pen drive and
burn them to a CD on any PC with a CD burner. You should then be able to
install Win Me using the CD you have burned and your key by running
setup.exe.

Best of luck,
