You need to boot with a ME startup disk, in order to get to the command prompt on a Windows ME system.

I can't get Windows to fully load. I don't have a Windows Me or 98 startup disk. Does anyone have access to one that I can download?

You can create a startup (boot) disk on another machine: Get a blank floppy diskette 
and stick it in the drive. Go into Add/Remove programs. Click the startup disk tab 
and choose Create disk.

Or, download an image of a ME boot disk from Bootdisk.com 
and create one.
