This happens when you boot from a 98 boot disk but try to format with the
windows ME cd...you need to boot from a ME cd and run format or make sure
you r 98 boot disk has format on it

Subject: [PCBUILD] Formatting difficulty with Windows ME


> Hello,
>
> I'm having difficulty eliminating all my data from my hard drive. I use
Windows ME and my system (Cicero) comes with a CD that refuses to work
unless the hard drive is formatted. I have attempted to format the hard
drive in DOS but it keeps giving me incorrect version numbers.

> If anyone could point me to a solution, I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
