I am working on an old computer for my son to use. Details of Issue:
Compaq 5WV270
Installing Windows ME new copy
Created Boot Disk
Erased old Partitions
Created and Formatted Partitions through FDISK, followed all instructions properly.
BIOS boot order is set - CD-ROM, Floppy, Harddrive
Upon reboot with boot disk, I choose start with CD-ROM assistance
All seems to load ok, it tells me my CD ROM is drive E
I place the windows CD into the drive, and command - E:\setup
it tells me bad command or file name.
I have tried - E:\install, E:\setup.exe, differnet drive letters with same commands.
NOTHING
starts the install of the new windows CD.
The boot disk ssems to have the correct drivers on it, it does recognize the lerrter for the CD-ROM,
but all I get is "bad command or file name".
Can anyone assist. My computer knowledge is limited. Thanks.
