Attn: Mart: A Re-Install of WinMe in DOS.

EBD ... I: drive
same thing?"

Hello Rick,

I had tried 'I' before and knew it didn't work so the
answer is no.

I have just completed a second (lately g) re-install of
WinMe - in DOS with CDROM support and with my CD inserted
in drive G. it stayed in DOS until Windows was loaded,
thereafter I had the full colour version through to
completion. Looking good.

Hello Rick,

I followed your suggestion and inserted my WinMe CD
into
my H drive when the A:\ prompt appeared. Then I typed
H:
At the H:\I typed in 'setup' and this next appeared:
"CDR101: Not reading reading drive H. Abort etc etc."

Hello Rick (and Mart),

Just to be sure I went back into DOS with CDROM support
and selected 'I' drive at the A:\ with the WinMe CD
inserted. At the I:\ I typed setup and the response was:
CDR101: Not ready reading drive I. Abort etc.

And Mart, there is not much wrong with me WinCD save to
say it's envelope is badly frayed bg.

Thanks to you each.

Ben.

Ben, the first part of your (latest) response doesn't make sense because the
previous part - directed to Rick, does!! I guess you *may* have pasted the
wrong words g

So, as you have now, at long last, got it to be recognised in the H: drive,
it begs the question as to why it didn't see it the first time if the CD is
OK - a 'flaky' CD-ROM drive perhaps?

How old is your kit? A flaky CD-ROM after 3yrs is certainly not unheard
of.

Another lay-down in the darkened room required.
