Reply: (edit)Have you tried using a boot disk?
You may have to adjust BIOS setting to boot from floppy.
If there is nothing valueable on the drive I would boot from a win98 boot disk and format the drive to wipe out ME.

Reply: (edit)You dont need winzip to unzip compressed files. Windows 98se has a built in unzipping utility called compressed folders it can be installed via add and remove programs.
