Default installing me using the recovery disc

It might help us to help you, if you were to give some more details. e.g.
Make/model of pc and exactly what recovery disc(s) you are trying to use
(Original Microsoft WinMe CD or OEM recovery CD(s) as provided by the
computer manufacturer). If OEM, do you have the User Manual? It should give
you instructions in there.

In the meantime If you want to do a clean install then and it's a Microsoft
(retail) CD, as a starting point, 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 'productid' code (the
15 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. a Win98 CD (N.B not required for OEM)

Also, remember that ALL data will all be erased if you attempt a 'factory
fresh' recovery.

HTH and good luck

Mart

My advice would be to carefully read the documentation that accompanied
the recovery disk. Note that recovery disks are created by PC
manufacturers not Microsoft and the operation and use of such disks varies
from manufacturer to manufacturer.
