I have windows 98 installed on an old laptop, it has 98 on it because I could get 
ME (the one the computer is supposed to have) to install. So here is what I need. 
Either how do I make a disk that the setup will run when the computer is wiped, or, 
what is a work around with Me to where it will install Me even though I have a previous 
version of Windows, and my ME disk insn't an upgrade disk?!?!?

That or where can I get Windows ME Upgrade edition online for free? (I have my own 
serial, I just don't have a disk)

Thanks for the support.

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

If you could find one, that'd be great.
