Hi,I have some Pent.166mhz, 1.9gig HD, fat16 just a little history, I have sucessfully installed win.me on some of them.I first ran delpart then fdisk and then Win.Me. On some I keep getting the Invalid system disk, Replace the disk and then press any key. They won't even recognize the drive A: to run fdisk. I tried using win98 boot and win.ME boot, but I get a message wrong MSdos version. If I boot from the win.ME cd it reads Missing disk operating system.I also have some pent.100mhz,1.6 gig HD they doing the same thing. These were once Networked Computers.
