windows me uninstall
i want to wipe the whole system and start afresh, i have read the manual that
came with the computer and it explains that all i have to do is use the restore pack that cme with the computer. i have the restore pack it contains 1 cd and 1 floppy disk. from what i understand (by way of articles i have been reading) the floppy is the boot disk and the cd contains all the files that will be put back onto the computer. i will try your link in the meantime, thankyou "Noel Paton" wrote: Please explain "reinstall it without the system restore pack" meanwhile.... http://www.aumha.org/win4/a/clean.htm -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "phil legler" phil wrote in message ... i have been having problems with our 2nd computer, it has windows me and i want to uninstall it and then reinstall it without the system restore pack.it contains a floppy disk and our drive is broken!) |

Ah - you may be out of luck, unless you can get your floppy to work, or can
replace it (standard units, cost about £5) There is almost no way that you can install a Win9x Operating system without a floppy disk boot somewhere along the way - unl;ess you are lucky enough to have one of the relatively few where the OEM created a bootable CD for the purpose (and to judge from your description, yours isn't one of them). You will need to read the manual for your PC carefully so that you know exactly what you are doing - if you post the details of the make/model number, then there's a good chance that someone can talk you through the exact procedure for your case. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "phil legler" wrote in message ... i want to wipe the whole system and start afresh, i have read the manual that came with the computer and it explains that all i have to do is use the restore pack that cme with the computer. i have the restore pack it contains 1 cd and 1 floppy disk. from what i understand (by way of articles i have been reading) the floppy is the boot disk and the cd contains all the files that will be put back onto the computer. i will try your link in the meantime, thankyou "Noel Paton" wrote: Please explain "reinstall it without the system restore pack" meanwhile.... http://www.aumha.org/win4/a/clean.htm -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "phil legler" phil wrote in message ... i have been having problems with our 2nd computer, it has windows me and i want to uninstall it and then reinstall it without the system restore pack.it contains a floppy disk and our drive is broken!) |

thanks for your help, looks like it might be a new floopy drive after all! It
would be handy to have a working one!!
