Starting form Scratch
« on: June 12, 2006, 10:45:46 PM »
Ok hello everyone my problem is a simple one i hope.  Please help me.  My friend gave me an old computer if his, daid it was mine as long as i nuked the hard drive, awsome so i did.  unfortunately he doesn't have a restore disk for it and i dont either.  So i need to install an operating system on it.  i have a Windows Millenium edition CD, but no way to access it.  I created a boot disk using our family XP machine, but i dont know how to use DOs and get past the screen the pops up when i turn on the downed machine.  How to i either A) install windows ME  using the cd or B)simply use DOS.

An XP disk will not work. Off to www.bootdisk.com for a free download for a WinME disk and then have a read here:
