reverting back to windows me

Assuming you have an ME boot floppy, boot with that. At the prompt, type
fdisk and press enter,
delete the non-dos partition, create a primary dos partition, set it active
and exit.

If it says you have no non-dos partition your system is still fat32, delete
the primary DOS Partition, create a new one, set it active and exit fdisk,
reboot the system with the ME floppy in the drive and at the prompt type
format
C: and press enter. Once format is
complete, change to your CD-ROM drive and with the ME CD in the drive,
type setup, press enter and follow the screens.

If you don't have an ME boot disk with CD-ROM support, visit
www.bootdisk.com.

NOTE: Whether or not ME will work with your computer is dependent upon a
number of factors including whether or not you have the drivers for your
hardware and assumes your other software is compatible as well.
