I need to reinstall Winme
I have both my compaq recovery disk and my OEM Win Me disk. When I use compaq recovery disk it just keep saying "your system is now ready to restart" and it does this over and over again. I made a boot disk form other pc and ran scan disk..no problem were found..couldn't run scanreg. I reformatted the c: drive because nothing was really there...now when I try to boot cd with win me cd it just says..Operating System Not Found. Does anyone know how i can do a clean install or just install win me period? |

Most Win ME CD's are not bootable - which explains why your system won't bootg Boot with the floppy, (using 'with CD Support') and p;ut he Win ME CD in the drive - type Setup - if it comes back 'not found' try this at the A: prompt E: Setup that should get you started. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Toni" wrote in message ...

Oh lord!
Try booting with your Recovery CD - see if that does the same thing -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp wrote in message ...
