You can force it to use winme by typing in fdisk /mbr this will format
the mbr so that no win2k / xp information is left in there

Subject: [PCBUILD] Master boot record

A customer tried to install Win 2000 over Win ME and hung up the
system. He then compounded the problem by trying to install WIN XP
and it did not finish the installation. There must be a conflict in
the MBR. IS there a way that I can force the MBR to boot to one OS?
