Default wnidows ME reinstall- emachine 800mhz with a new hard drive

Hello,

I recently upgraded with 80 gig hard drive. because my old hard drive was
runngin out of room.(30 gig)

Now I have new comcast service, but the connectin drops me every 10 minutes,
and I can't seem to fix it. I was thinking about reinstalling the windows,
but when I double click on the setup (windows/options/cabs), it won't install
saying there isn't enough conventional memory.

I am using about 45 gigs of 80 gigs harddrive. is there a setting that i can
change in order to make my computer see that there is room?

any thoughts will be appreciated.

I think it is talking about RAM not hard drive space.

Win Me doesn't natively support drives bigger than 128GB.
