Default WinMe to Win2k - Format Disk

Boot, using the WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk and at the A:\ prompt type
"format c:" (No quotes and note the space before the c and the colon after
it) Then press Return.

N.B. This will completely wipe the C: drive clean - there's no going back!

Re-boot with the WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk and select the CD support
option. (Note the temporary letter designated (on the screen) to the
CD-ROM).This will give you control over your CD-ROM.
