Windows ME Reinstall
I have a five year old ABS Athlon system with 640MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, DVD
Drive, CD Burner, floppy, etc. I recently updated bios, then upgraded from Windows ME to XP in order to use new software. My HP printer would not install and between HP tech support and me and the possible failure of my old HDD, we messed up my system enough that it made sense to reinstall. While at it, I decided to replace the HDD. I removed the 40 GB drive, installed the 80 GB as the master and started off. After a couple of botched attempts to get the Maxtor software to setup the HDD, it finally did. When I tried to use my recovery disk and Windows disk that came with my system, I got a error message stating that this version of Windows could not be installed. SU0173. All of my software either came with the computer or was purchased from Comp USA, Staples, etc. and is legitimate. My desire is to go back and reinstall ME to make sure that I would not lose all of my initial software. How can I resolve the issue of the error message and get ME to setup? Thanks, Bruce (After I get it up and stable, I'll run the upgrade to XP again) |
