Adding.....
If you using a windows me boot disk choose option 4 minimal boot when prompted. It loads up faster than if you choose with cdrom support.

If you dont have a windows me boot disk you can create one in add and remove programs.
Insert a blank floppy go to start/settings/control panel/add and remove programs/startup disk tab/create disk.

If you cant create one you can download one at bootdisk.com. download the executable and double click it with a blank floppy inserted. It will write the disk.

DONT use scanreg while under windows. If you went to your help program it will tell you to use your boot disk choose WITHOUT CD ROM SUPPORT and use it there Dont use minimal boot either It takes longer my way but it lesons the chance of a screw up!!! PS. DONT RUN IT UNDER WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!
