Reply: 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.
