If you can not boot the system into Safe Mode, and you do not have a floppy diskette
drive to boot from, then you will need to boot from a CD-Rom drive using a CD with
an image of the Windows ME Startup (boot) diskette on it. This first requires you
to make a bootable Windows ME startup diskette on a machine with a diskette drive,
and then on a machine with both a diskette drive and a CD-writer, make a bootable
CD using an image of the bootable diskette. After booting from the bootable CD to
the DOS A:\ prompt, you should be able to run the DOS version of Scandisk.
Other options include removing the disk drive from the system, jumpering it to
the "slave" setting and attaching it to a working system as the slave drive and then
booting that system and running its copy of ScanDisk on your disk drive. Or if the
system has a standard attachment for a diskette drive, attach one to it and boot
from it using a bootable windows ME diskette.
