I am trying to upgrade from win98 to winMe but i keep getting an error message saying that windows me requires at least 32MB to install. I have tried to do the whole fdisk method but then i get an error which says no fixed disk files...i have a windows 98 boot floppy disk which i downloaded from the internet. I am unable to actually get into windows at all as i have accidentially delete some files that im assuming were needed to start windows. Can anyone help? Thanks!

While you have decided to upgrade, why upgrading to a useless obsolate version !!
Upgrade to Widows XP Home, most stable OS as of now.

I hate to tell you this but Windows Me is horrible! It's not a good upgrade from 98. It tends to be less stable than 98 meaning it will crash on you more. My advice is that you stick with 98 until a day comes when you can afford a new PC with XP or Vista. Upgrading to Me (if you want to call it that) will only give you more problems. That version of Windows came and went very quickly for a reason.
And don't try to upgrade to XP on this computer because it wont run well at all. You'll need a more powerful PC for XP.
I have been an IT consultant for 8 years now - trust me on this.

Don't do it. Windows ME is an abomination! And I quote...
"Due to Windows Me's perceived problems installing, running, and shutting down, Dan Tynan called it 'Mistake Edition' in the PC World 'Top 25 Worst Tech Products' [2]."

Do you have 32 MB of RAM? Here are the system requirements for Windows ME
