I don't know, but you could d/l win xp pro and burn to disk . Or win me for that matter. With out your recovery disk your stuck. Does your hd have a recovery partion ? You know like hold down a key at start up to go to recovery? Have you tryed your floppy boot disk and ran scandisk from A: drive?

ME i do believe needs a boot floppy
go to peat's link, they have it there
because if you are planning to dl another OS ISO,
i will say again...2K or XP
it really is not worth your time to dl ME

but with the above mentioned boot floppy,
you should be able to work something out,
a defrag/disk check in DOS perhaps

I think it's this disk you want: http://www.infotechcommunity.com/bootdisks/bootme.exe (windows me OEM bootdisc).

Windows ME sucks. I would recommend 2000 instead or even go down to 98. ME is just a really bad OS

[johnq86]

i know i should upgrade but i cant get my hands on xp so is there any way i can fix this problem please help i really appreciate it.

What do you mean "you cant get your hands on xp"? You have been a member of this forum for almost 2 years now.

Can you even run XP? What are the specs of your PC. Perhaps Win2000 is a better choice.

As for DEFRAG and SCANDISK... They are both available in DOS from a bootable floppy diskette and can run as a command from the DOS prompt.

how would i be able to run that on dos?
