ME Setup Disk

I was wondering if there was a way i could legaly obtane the setup floppy(s)
that come with ME. i cant get into the bios to switch it to boot from cd and
i want to install a clean copy of ME but cant without booting from floppy
first.

Thx
Chuck

Chuck,

You can download the image of a Win Me OEM boot disk from
www.bootdisk.com. Download to your desktop, double click to run and
follow the prompts to transfer the image to a floppy. Do NOT copy the
downloaded file to a floppy - that won't make a bootable floppy but
instead a floppy disk containing the file you downloaded.

This can be done on any PC and then the floppy used with the PC you want
to clean install Win Me.
to DOS.

Mike,

Thanks for the help i also had a question about Microsoft office. Would it
be possible to install a copy of MS Office on an earlier version of windows.
Like Office 2002 on Windows ME? Just curious because all i have is office 98
and 2002 so i would prefer the newer one but if its not possible...

Thx

MS Office 2002 (aka Office XP) and Office 2000 can both be installed on
Win Me without problem. You cannot however install Office 2003 or any of
its components on Win Me as Office 2003 needs the operating system to be
Windows 2000 SP3 or later or XP or later.

Chuck,

Best of luck. You will find that there is a newsgroup (discussion as you
call them) for all of Microsoft's various products, often many for each
product with each focussing on a different aspect, including those
recently or even not so recently discontinued. Whilst you are accessing
these newsgroups using Microsoft's web interface you might find using a
news client such as Outlook Express to be preferable.
