If anyone can help me out. Ive cleaned my computer out using zero filler. formatted the drive etc. I am trying to install win ME but everytime it keeps going in a loop . First it boots up and gives me the option of choosing from
1. boot from hard drive
2. boot from cd rom

I choose 2

then it gives me

1. start windows setup from cd-rom
2. start computer with cd-rom support
3. start comuter without cd-rom support
so I then choose #1

wich then starts telling me info about the driver provided by etc. then I get a blue screen that says

welcome to setup

Let take a step back and start all over again.
Go to this link and download a Windows 98 Boot disk.
http://www.24by7.ca/files/boot98se.exe

1- boot you system with the disk and on the prompt type FDISK
2- remove all the partition with the help of FDISK and recreate new one.
3- reboot your system to prompt, then type in : "A:\ format C:"
4- then create a folder in "C" drive called WINME by typing "MD WINME" on C:\ prompt.
5- access you CD rom and copy att the files from setup folder to WINME folfer.
6- finally, remove the CD from the drive and go to WINME folder and type in SETUP.

word of advise, don't use third party software to format your drive.

cheers
