he can buy a winXP upgrade cd - assuming he has his winME
disk of some sort. It will just ask to put the cd in to
verify that he has it. Even an old win98 cd should work.
I don't know anything about re-formating or cleaning the
hard drive.
Win ME just uses resources and doesn't give them back
without a re-boot.
I'm not positive why mine wouldn't defrag either - I thought
it was maybe because of the room on the hard drive -but it
might have just been a winME quirk.

He has alot of free space on his hard drive. I told him
since he wants to
wipe his hard drive clean and start fresh, he should try
going with windows
xp besides I can help him better with that OS as I do not
know win ME
really. To clean the hard drive, you just do format C:/
something like
that right on the dos screen? Or am I confused. He has a
restore disk for
ME, but I guess he will have to buy the win xp and then Id
have to load
everything on for him.
Thanks,
Cristy
