Hum.. no floppy drive. Bad idea. No access to boot diskettes. You should consider
solving that problem.
As you have a CD-rom drive, I assume you can make it bootable through BIOS CMOS
Setup. Either find or have someone make you a bootable CD. On a working Windows ME
system, use Add/Remove Programs, Startup Disk tab to make a bootable Startup diskette.
Then use this diskette to make a bootable CD on a system with a CD-RW and software
that can make a CD bootable.
Then use this (or any other bootable CD that can get you to a DOS prompt) and
then at the A:\ prompt enter:
C:\Windows\Options\Install\SETUP
or
C:\Windows\Options\CABS\SETUP
This will start the Windows ME setup program. You will need your systems "ProductKey".
It can be found on the system in the Registry file, C:\Windows\SYSTEM.DAT and is
the 25 character code after the keyword "ProductKey".
Or you can just use the boot CD-rom to give you DOS command prompt access to your
drive to try the other suggestions.
