Cannot reinstall Win ME

Hi,
I´m having problems reinstalling Windows ME on my computer.
I have formatted the hard drive using the startup disk. I insert the startup disk and from the "ME startup menu" I choose "start computer with CD-Rom support". The process starts with "preparing to start the computer" and so on, but suddenly the process ends at the DOS prompt!
I have done this procedure many, many times before without problems. Can anyone please explain what is wrong?

It's supposed to stop at the DOS prompt...and just before it does, it displays a message telling you what letter to use for the optical drive. Simply change to that letter, type SETUP & press [enter]

Thanks for the input. The process ends with "your CD-rom is drive F". I change the prompt to F:\setup and press enter. Then I get the following error message: "CDR101 Not Ready Reading Drive F".
