be smart and upgrade. windows me has more bugs in it than all of the others combined. therefore it's not worth the time to figure out what the problem is.

You said you took off the hdd and put into another pc then put it back again since ur bro. erased it thoroughly.
Simple first select by hitting F8 above using in Safe Mode, if nothing happen, check the BIOS of ur PC then make sure your hd has properly assigned jumpers and the cables. It should display the specified HD brand names and comes with the serials and the exact capacity in the BIOS.
You need to boot winME in dos mode, check by typing;
a:>fixdisk, select the options and then create another partitions if needed.
You also said that when you turn it on nothing happens meaning the pc is silent and i guess no beep sound also.
Check the RAM or the memory, clean the ram stick by using eraser, gently erase the pins of ur ram the copper pins only don't worry touch the pc supply and ur esd free already. Clean also the pins of the video card if you had vcard in ur pc.
Now u done, and the proper maintenance of ur pc.
Hope this will work....

Hi. You probably need to reinstall Windows ME. Put the installation CD in the drive, reboot, when asked allow boot from CD. Follow the directions. If the drive was formatted then the data is probably lost, but search for a free file recovery program and run it. You might get lucky! http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/download.htm

Which means the fresh copy of ME was not installed correctly on your hard disk.
If you would like to save the data on that drive, then attached it to other PC as a slave and save the recovered filed as many as you can. You can install on that PC a data recovery software so to recover some important files that had been deleted or erased.
But if you just wanted to have a new or fresh OS to install on the hard drive, format it first and install ME.
