easily ,format the disk then reinstall ME ,BUT it may invalidate the guarantee and destroy the "recovery" part of the hard drive ,maybe a dual boot is preferable but it will still will make the "recovery "disk useless :( if he does decide to format make sure he gets all the drivers needed for the onboard hardware safely stored away before starting and ofcourse the required ME versions of software needed to run the hardware such as cd r`s etc :) and dont forget that startup disk :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Best thing to tell him is 'get used to it'!

fasser - in all seriousness and in agreement with the last couple of posts

 

If your friend needs to ask about how to remove XP and install ME, he probably shouldn't be trying it.

 

If the new "look & feel" still feels awkward to him after a week or two (or if he just can't wait), XP settings can be changed so it will behave more like he is used to.

 

I suggest he get on to http://www.windowsbbs.com/ and post his wants/needs/problems in the XP section there. Lots of good advice available.
