get a windows me bootdisk or windows 98 bootdisk. I prefer windows 98 bootdisk as when you format you can use the commands /u /q /s without windows me sayings its no longer supported.
So get your bootdisk, stick it in and turn pc on. when a menu appears, choose: 'start computer with cdrom support' and press enter. Then let it do its job and when you reach the A:\ Prompt type (without thequote marks): 'format c: /u /s'
The format command is stating the obvious, but the /u command means UNCONDITIONAL format. This is mainly used when a re-partition has happened but i feel its much better on a normal format. the /s command means copy system files to hdd only
then after 100% complete.... type: X:\setup.exe where X is cdrom drive letter. hope it helps and isnt too complex
Hey before that backup any data and write down ALL the devices he has in his computer. Dont want to see u posting again asking if we can help with drivers for some device that was in his machine!
