Someone put XP on my computer and I want to re-install Me. How do I do that?

Topper, if you have the WinMe CD then it shouldnt be too difficult.
Hopefully whoever installed XP used Fat32.
Anyway, go here and get a bootdisk. www.bootdisk.com Then go into
the Bios and make sure that the Floppy
Drive is set to first boot device. Then follow the instructions below.

Assuming you have an ME boot floppy, boot with that. At the prompt, type
fdisk and press enter,
delete the non-dos partition, create a primary dos partition, set it active
and exit.
If it says you have no non-dos partition your system is still fat32, delete
the primary DOS Partition, create a new one, set it active and exit fdisk,
reboot the system with 98 floppy in the drive and at the prompt type format
C: and press enter. Once format is
complete, change to your CD-ROM drive and with the 98 CD in the drive,
type setup, press enter and follow the screens.
If you don't have 98 boot disk with CD-ROM support, visit www.bootdisk.com.
NOTE: Whether or not 98 will work with your computer is dependent upon a
number of factors including whether or not you have the drivers for your
hardware and assumes your other software is compatible as well.
