Hello
I am assuming you have a boot disk, if not you can download one here.
www.bootdisk.com
Download the one for 98SE or ME
Boot the computer from the disk then type fdisk hit enter, it has been a
while since I did this but I think it will ask you something about large
disk just select Y and enter then you will have to delete the NON-DOS
partition the you will be able to create a DOS partition and load Windows
ME, which will also have to be updated and have virus software.
