Thanks again for your help - I'm almost there but not quite!
Have made the me floppy and formatted the drive etc but, when reaching the stage of putting the me cdrom disk in the drive and typing setup e, all goes well at first until I reach the Windows Millenium Edition Setup blue screen with various stages of setup described down the left hand side and a message appears stating "Message SU995035 An invalid command option was specified. Check the command line and try again, or type Setup /? for help on the Setup command options. [0x13ab].
I've tried looking at those options which are as follows:-
Setup Options: SETUP [batch][/C][/ie][/im][/is][/iv][/T:tmpdir]
and also tried various combinations of these without success.
Any thoughts?
