Bad command on clean installation

[Laurie]

i have had to format my friends pc,. It came with windows
me inbuilt, but when I try a clean installation, it says
bad command when i get to the setup command, ive even
typed setup.exe and that doesnt help either, anyone help,
round the twist with it.

Are you referring to the correct drive when using the command ?
Note that the CD-ROM drive letter is incremented by one (to allow for the
RAM drive created by a Win ME boot floppy), so if you normally would type
D:\setup.exe to access the CD drive, then you need to use E:\setup.exe.
