Can someone please tell me the steps to do a clean re-install for windows ME, or what to do when the Computer says non system disk error please insert the disk

Did you make a floppy start up disk, or did you just insstall ME with the CD when you first installed it? You can boot into DOS at start up and use commnad FDISK to erase the files and partitions on the hard drive, then reformat. Then proceed with the installation. If you just have the ME cd, open your BIOS at start up and select boot from cdrom first, instead of your hard drive. If you have a start up floppy use it to begin the installation.

Like capt said, use a bootdisk for windowsME ( you can get one at www.bootdisk.com) then put that disk in the drive, boot the pc, at the prompt: type format c: then press "Enter" then when done type d: and "Enter" ( assuming d is the letter that corresponds to your cd-rom drive) then type setup and " Enter" .

Hold on a second.....if all you are experiencing is the error you mentioned, check first if you have a floppy disk in the drive when you switch the PC on. If it is a data disk, it will give you this error. Take it out and the PC should boot. If this is not your problem, then the above would apply or go to these links for format and reinstall help: Microsoft have an article on the Windows CDs and also on their website. On the ME CD you'll find the article in \addons\document\guide and it's called mqsg. The information you want starts about page 31. On a PC with ME already installed you will also find a similar article at C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL\CLEANHD.TXT On the website, go to http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/topics/winme/setup/setupht.asp which also has a great deal of other useful information on dual booting, setup and uninstalling, and http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q255/8/67.asp http://www.windowsreinstall.com/ http://www.burzurq.com/forum/format_reinstall_.html are also useful Be very careful you have all your drivers and original disks for all your components and peripherals, or download latest versions before you start.
