Get a Win9x boot disk. I'd get Win95b. bootdisk.com has lots of disks there you can get.

I tried a Win98SE boot diskette. It did not work!!!
I think that I got into something that looked like dos mode with a WinME diskette after I chose minimal O/S.

Win98se makes a ram drive and all sorts of crazy stuff. Just use a basic Win95 boot disk.

?Win ME does have a boot disk!
You are offered the chance to make one when you install!
I have flashed the bios of my VGA and mobo so I should know.

You can use step-by-step option at WinME startup to do a clean load

Contrary to popular belief, Win Me does have dos emulation window.. I have flashed my video card using the dos window from the WinME desktop. I have also flashed my BX Master using a floppy and flash proggy at boot up. Go to your mobo manufacturers website and get all the details. If you want to see the dos prompt just go to the accessories section and you will find it.
