Guys - Need help.
I have reformatted my hard drive - result. I made a disk before i did it - another result but now i can't get my ME to re-install.
I put the disk in switch on - the disk does its thing but I can't seem to figure out how to get the CD-ROM to get going.
I've tried E:SETUP but to no avail - I've tried all sorts.
Can one of you more intelligent folks guide this PC Imbicile?

Some accurate detail might help.

OK Thanks - I reboot using the disk
i try E: enter - I get E:\> - ithen try setup enter - I then get AbortRetryFail?.It has already told me that my cd drive is E

I would expect something more like this:
Not ready reading drive E
Abort, Retry, Fail?

Absolutely right.
What are the next steps? Is something wrong?
Could it be that something has disconnected internaly?
I hit A or F and it goes back to the prompt.I have been searching this site and have all sorts to try but you may have the 'Holy Grail' of solutions. I've just seen your web site. I'll have a look.
Thanks for your help.RC42

Well it looks like the problem just left me.
I put in F:setup and it ran - it would appear my CR Drive was F not E.
I have now just go to sort the monitor's setting as ME won't let me adjust the resolution and, WORD, as it asks for a product key - as it is a Dell machine it didn't come with one.
Thanks for responding to try and help.

you can't adjust the resolution because you need to re-install the graphics drivers. Most likely to be at dell's site, unless is a 3rd party graghics card in which case you may have to go to there site.

Guys it's a Dell machine (Dimension 4100) so all the info (driver info) is on the resource CD I think, but, I just can't get it off and istalled.
I load the CD, after ME has booted up, but all I get is info - no real way to kick an instalation.

To close this issue - driver instaled from resource CD - product key found - Im up a running again many thanks to those that proffered an opinion or helped out.
