Get a bootdisk ( if you don't allready have one ) at www.bootdisk.com for windowsME then execute that file ( it will send the data to the floppy drive ) then reboot. Then at the prompt --> A:/> type format c: and hit "Enter" Voilą :)

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.
