How to de install windows Millenium
May I ask what you expect to uninstall to? What do you expect to see after
you uninstall Win Me? You can only uninstall an operating system if you 1) Upgraded to that operating system from a previous operating system, 2) Chose to retain the files belonging to that previous operating system when you upgraded, and 3) Have not subsequently deleted those saved files (from 2) perhaps in an attempt to recover space on your hard disk. Are all 1, 2 and 3 true? If not you cannot uninstall Win Me. You don't mention what you are attempting to do. Do you intend installing another operating system or reinstalling Win Me (I suspect those "people" you spoke know little about operating systems). If you wish to install another operating system you need to format your hard disk and to do this you need to boot to DOS using a floppy and then format your hard disk, or at least the drive containing Win Me, by using FORMAT Win Me drive: from the DOS prompt.

Such caveats include (from my post):
The uninstall option will only be available if the user 2) Chose to retain the files belonging to that previous operating system when they upgraded, and 3) Have not subsequently deleted those saved files (from 2) perhaps in an attempt to recover space on their hard disk. Also, of course, all programs and updates to programs installed since the system was updated to Win Me will be lost. -- Mike Maltby wrote: if poster upgraded to win me, presumably can revert to previous win by going to control panel, add/remove programs. in pull down list is: "uninstall win.. mill.." i have no idea of any caveats to doing so. :-) |
