A lot of the OEM copies of ME or later (for the specific PC makers) are basically useless. For example, I have a Dell OEM copy of ME, however it's designed to work on the hardware they came from (in this case, some old insparion notebook). Using it will cause setup to fail with a random error code which gives out the message stating it was designed for one specific machine model only.
Same. I was one of the few people who actually used ME as a daily system before I got ahold of a pirated Windows 2000, and my desktop's OEM disc refused to work on anything else. Luckily a friend grabbed a copy from (iirc) here.
I'm sorry for my ignorance. i was looking for a windows me copy with the sbsi folder and the tools\admin folder. Luckily the one on the software library was the right one. Thanks! :roll:
