“As for erasing the hard drive, there’s a lot more stuff on that thing than Windows ME files. I would hope there’s a way to clean up things without erasing everything.”
Theres your problem. No can do. Burn the stuff you want to keep on a CD-r or DVD-r and reformat.
And to think I bought the Windows XP upgrade to save some money. It specified it was for users of 98, 98 2E, and ME. Perhaps I’ll just kick back and watch “Kill Bill (Gates), Volume I” instead.
