How to re-install Windows ME
This is a great tip on going back to the basic fundamentals of Windows on how it use to be. Save this link, copy it and put it in a safe place. One day this great tip is going to save your day.
How to re-install Windows ME
Put a diskette in your floppy drive and click Create Disk.
A boot disk will be made for you. This can take three to five minutes.
If you don't have a boot disk go to
Bootdiskto create one.
With the boot disk in the floppy drive, restart the machine. You will be presented with four options: * Help * Start with CD-ROM support * Start without CD-ROM support * Minimal Boot
Choose Start with CD-ROM support and wait for the machine to go through the start-up process. Once the A: prompt appears, type a:format c: and hit Enter or for a quick format type c: /q. (Note to veterans: The /s command is no longer necessary and is not supported under Windows ME).
The system will reformat the drive, and then display the amount of free space. It will also prompt you to enter a volume label, which is the name of the hard disk. Enter anything you like, or simply hit the Enter key for no name.
If your drive has been sub-divided (also called "partitioned"), repeat the format procedure on the second partition. For example, if the D drive is a hard drive partition, type the command format d:
Now your hard drive is ready for a new installation of Windows ME. Put the Windows ME installation CD in the CD drive and type x:setup, where X is the CD drive letter. It is probably D.
Windows ME will then run the Scandisk utility on your hard drive to check for errors. Once it finishes, click Exit and let the rest of the installation proceed. Keep your Product Key handy (that's the really long code on the back of the CD sleeve) because you'll have to enter that before the installation proceeds. Upgrade copies of the Windows ME require you to have a previous version of Windows handy because the system will ask for it to verify you are eligible to install the upgrade. When prompted, you'll have to put it into either the floppy or CD drive for verification, depending on which operating system you are upgrading from. Be aware that there are three possible Windows ME products. A full version requires no previous software verification. An upgrade from Windows (about $169) requires the insertion of a Windows 95 disk or CD during the upgrade process. The upgrade from Windows 98 (about $85) requires the Win 98 CD.
The rest of the installation is pretty straightforward. Follow the prompts until the process finishes. You will be prompted to restart. Make sure you remove the floppy disk from the floppy drive, label it, and put it in a safe place. Also, be sure to keep the previous Windows CD with the upgrade package so you can verify you own it in the event of any future reinstallations.

Norton AntiVirus 2009 Update
Even though they are saying it's a fast install I have still doubts on going back to Symantec. It's last version Endpoint was a nightmare and still is. They promise so much and lost track of what they were trying to achieve. In the end the software was just a bomb and an insult to the Symantec product line. It will be a long while before I go back.
