Question on reformating

[patio]

Not a bad idea...i would use both switches :

format C: /u; /s and hit enter. But since it is a clean install he may not need the system files neccessarily.

ok its done "formating" now its asking me:

Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none) I pressed enter...

now it gave me a "Volume Serial Number"

im at the A:\>  now what do I type next  

[patio]

Remove the floppy...put the WinME CD in and re-boot....

Follow the instructions onscreen.

Finally, mission accomplished.     By the way, if you plan to reformat the Win XP machine, as you mentioned in your first post, that works different.  Just a heads up before you start on that.
