What do you what to end up with ?
A clean HD so you can start over or do you want to keep win2k or win98 ?
If you want to just start over with a clean HD go to bootdisk.com and download the
boot disk for winME
Run the file after you it downloaded ,it will make a boot disk for you..
Then boot with that disk and run the Fdisk at the A:
and remove ALL the partitions then make a new one at that point the machine will
reboot then at the A: type
format c: /s when it's done with the format remove the boot disk and reboot , now
you install the OS you want to run..
Hope this helps
