New PC, ME with old BIOS

At the risk of repeating myself. When you reboot your system following
removal of all the devices in the Device Manager the system will be in the
same state it would be, driver wise, that it would be following a clean
install of the operating system from a Win Me CD. At this point what you
then have to do is no different from what you would do following a clean
install of Win Me.

Note that removing all entries in Dev.Man is standard procedure whenever a
system disk is moved to new hardware regardless of the operating system in
use. In this respect Win Me is no different from either Win 98, W2K or
XP.

Hmmmmm. ACPI doesn't scare me; the new system has it. But I thought
everything would install itself when I reboot in Normal Mode. If it's
going to prompt me, and ask if it should go looking for them, that I
can live with. But if it just sits there not working, I'll be worse
off than I am now. Now I'm scared again.
