Hey Darcy, A guy at work just had a major blow out with his Windows Me computer and is PO'd at it. From what he is explaining part of the OS uninstalled itself. Hmmm...maybe that is a good thing? ;-)
Anyways...I loaned him a copy of Knoppix 3.2 that he is going to use on that system to play with and see if he can recover his ME or just examine what is going on. Hard drive seems to be chirping so it may be dead HDD. I mentioned Mandrake 10 and how easy it is to use, and if the offer is still good maybe you could burn a copy of it for him so he has something that he can install. I have installed it a few times and have a manual for it, so could always help him out with any problems. I also have a copy of Linspire (formally Lindows that I could give him a copy of). Let me know if you can and I wills ee if I can scrape together an extra CD...I will be at the meeting tonite.
