WIndows ME Installation not working...

[t3h l337 n3wb]

I'm trying to install Windows ME, and the setup.exe just freezes and does nothing. When I first start up, I see 4 options, Help, Start with CD support, Start w/o CD support, and something else (I forgot what it was, but it wasn't impotant). I choose Start with CD support. I go to the CD drive (E and run Setup.exe. It just stays there and does nothing. I can still Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart, but it never enters setup. I used Fdisk to create a single partition on this 80GB drive. Anyone know the problem?

The first problem is you're trying to install Windows ME.

Why not boot from the cd to start the install?

Windows ME is the only chinese operating system I have (Yes, I need a chinese operating system, don't ask why). I'm booting from CD, but it won't start the installation.

I've never had a real Microsoft Windows 9x cd boot me into anything but the install... The options you listed made me think you were using a floppy boot disk or something.

Choose option #4

I was under the impression you are trying to boot off the cd. I dont think ME would let you do that. I think you need a 98 boot disk, then use it to start the install of ME. Get a bootdisk from bootdisk.com and use it. It will load a generic cd driver, then it will read the cd. Then type in C:setup or what ever drive you are going to use and it should take off.
