HOW TO REINSTALL Windows ME WITHOUT AN INSTALLATION CD
If nothing else works, you can reinstall Windows ME even if you have no installation
CD, by following the instructions in this post:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winme/1081893868
This is the "nuclear" option though. You will lose all your settings, and will therefore
have to reinstall all of your PC's hardware and all programs. You *must* have the
original setup disks and CDs to hand in order to do this.
You *must* also have your "product key" (serial number) to hand. The Product Key
is stored (in plain text, unencrypted) in the Windows Registry at -
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
