NictricAcid, did you ever try booting the CD with a DOS disk then popping in the CD and browsing the contents into the Windows setup folder and installing it from there? Just by sticking the CD in the computer and having it boot will go through alotta crap about if its a dell or not. Use some DOS skills and see if you can do it that way. If not, download a non-OEM version.
My suggestion is though to go use Windows 98SE on it. It'll run way better than Me is.
well after having 3 os's on the laptop, lol not at the same time im STUCK with 98SE, but i also found 98lite pro and now i have 98lite micro is is hella fast so i guess until i download a retail version of, Devilsjim, i have tried everything i could think of, including that , and im ou of ideas so ill live with 98 till my trusty and POWERFUL 56 K modem dls Me is ummm 45 hours lmao
I have a VERY small 8MB Windows 98, fits on 6 floppies, and no install, just copy, and edit autoexec.bat, and walla, DOS files work, but I dont know about Windows apps.......

That thing is called "Mini-Windows98"
I wonder if I was to combine XPs Explorer onto 98's explorer, and some other files like notepad and others. (just programs) would it work?
