boot computer with windows floppy disk? |

u-oh would be my first thought. create a boot disc, check it works!, then eliminate the partition w2k is on and then reinstall ME. w2k is way better than ME though, i switched a few weeks ago and its the first time i'm satisfied with m$ |

First things first. DON'T, FOR THE LOVE OG GOF, USE WINDOWS ME! Stay with 2000. Networking isn't what you need? Nor is it for a lot of people who use 2000. STAY WITH IT |

you can do it with w2k itself but be sure to have an alternative i cant find that damn program right now but it comes with the w2k default installation |

for ME, microshaft just put more graphics on the 98 GUI and added about 5 million more bugs |

reinstall w2k with fat32 then format and install me i'd stick with w2k though |
||||||||
|
|

|

if you have a bootable win me disc, just use fdisk from win2k if it works to delete the partition. then boot and install from win me. if you don't, try downloading a win me bootable FLOPPY disc image from the net, create an me startup floppy and use that to format the drive. |
