I cant do this tho because windoze wont load in normal mode only in safe so i cant restart im ms dos mode. i also when computer is loading and i press F8 to choose safe mode i dont have the option of msdos mode. any help on how to fix this so i can reformat or alternative ways of reformatting greatly welcome thanks |

| 173470 | 2003-09-07 01:23:00 | "To create a boot disk, you will need a blank, 1.2 megabyte (MB) disk. You may also need your Windows Me CD, so be sure to have it handy. To create a startup disk: Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then click Add/Remove Programs. Click the Startup Disk tab, and then click Create Disk. Label a floppy disk "Windows Me Startup Disk," insert the disk in your floppy drive when prompted, and then click OK. Windows Me will begin to copy files to the floppy disk. When copying is complete, click OK, and then store the disk in a safe place. |
