Re-installing Windows ME from the OS disc

Suppose I want to totally reinstall Windows ME from the OS disc.
Should I just put the CD in and type setup.exe?

Richard,

(that's for reinstalling ME over itself, not clean!! )

For a clean install, look for the file CLEANHD.TXT in either the CD, or your
C:\Windows\Options folder, and read that - and/or read the stuff here....

Noel,

Totally reinstall, IMO, can be both options: clean as ou say or on top, as
I read it.

Anyway, you should try relaxing a bit and post in response to OP rather than
me.

Take care,

Zee

Lotta folks talking, not knowing if you have a retail install, OEM install,
recovery Cd. Pure BS. But that's just me.

I was talking about the CD that comes with the computer.

.....which covers a multitude of sins, including all those mentioned by
Jonny, and a few more!

You have to be more clear than that. Have you simply tried what you
ORIGINALLY asked?
