WinMe CD is bootable and does support format (not sure about retail version,
but all OEM version are fine). Try delete partition and leave the harddisk
unpartitioned, boot from winMe CD, let winMe does the job.

I can partition 75G harddisk with windows FDISK, so don't know where is the
30G limitation come from.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Can't install Win ME


> I was wondering if you guys could help me install my Win ME. It freezes up
in the beginning (when it's transfering the data to the HD at 2% in the
lower left bar). I got a A7V Mobo (with 1007 bios)and ATA100 disabled,
Stealth S540 ( by Diamond 32Mb AGP 4x), Quantum Fireball as Primary Master
IDE (40 Gb 7200 rpm), Creative CD-Rom as Secondary Master (52x IDE). I used
FDISK (1 whole active partition only) and format c: /s (using Win 98 boot
disk, since the Win ME gives no more support to format - it says so when I
try...) as try to install the OS, it simply freezes(???).
> I've somewhere that the Windows FDISK does not support HD bigger than 30
Gb. Is it true?
