friend has a computer with ME on it and its stopped
booting up and wants a boot disk. Sadly she has the

www.bootdisk.com

the WindowsME OEM download will produce a 'stock' EBD.

now there's a typical separation agreement she gets the hardware, he
gets the software

start up computer...while it boots up press F2 and go to
configureations... uncheck boot up with floppy...there is
options: boot with hard drive and cd-room. Place WinME CD-
room and start with it. When continue, select to run in
Safe mode.. in safe mode go to "My Computer" and create
boot up disk.

hello there,
you have to push F2 while system starts.
then go to settings. Select Boot configuration, and
uncheck options to start with floppy disk.
There have to be left " boot up with hard drive" and "cd-
room" . Exit configuration and continue by selecting run
in Safe Mode.
In Safe mode go to Start-Setting-Add/Remove programs,
and select Startup Disk tab.
Insert floppy disk and create a disk.Then with this disk
try to start your system.

well that's just plain wrong.

You set the Booting Order to Floppy then CD then Hard Drive so it will
look for a bootable floppy first then a bootable CD then finally if
neither are present it will boot off the hard drive.

Again, No.

Booting Order is as I just replied to another poster (yourself?) in this
thread.

You don't need to be in Safe Mode to create an EmergencyBootDisk.

The place to make it is Start/Settings/*ControlPanel*/AddRemove... etc.

Thanks for the advice guys but it wont do any of this. The
thing is dead right now and asking for a boot disk to
startup. I have a CD and tried selecting boot off CD when
in F2 mode and it doesnt recognise it. I tried a windows
98 boot disk and it goes into all sorts of detail about
partitioning after failing to boot. I have tried just
plain safe mode and that doesnt boot. I have tried DOS
mode and it wont even accept a wipe out and start
again 'format' command. The only thing I havent tried is a
plain ME boot disk which has got lost and wanted to try
that..... thanks for the advice so far, any other
suggestions.
