First off, go to www.bootdisk.com and download a Win ME boot disk.
Use it to run fdisk, and choose yes when it asks if you want large disk support ( this will give you FAT 32 )
You can then make your partitions as you want them.
Make the C: partition the active one.
Then format each drive partition.
Reboot again with floppy, and choose to start with CD support.
Then you should be ready to run setup from the CD.
Good luck...Krystyna

If you have a Windows ME CD
and you Bios is set so it can boot from you cd-rom drive.
You should just be able to stick the CD in and boot.
you can use it to fdisk too.

But if you're gonna use a Boot disk you should be able to use Windows 98 to setup Windows ME.

Also you might want to keep your Windows drive partition small 3-5 gig for easier disk mantenence.
