To create a Startup diskette:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

In the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box, click the Startup Disk tab.

Click Create Disk to create the Startup diskette.

In some circumstances, you may be prompted to insert the Windows Me CD-ROM when you click Create Disk.

When you are prompted, insert a formatted diskette into the floppy disc drive and then click OK to confirm that the contents of the diskette will be overwritten.

When the Startup disk creation procedure is finished, remove the diskette from the floppy disc drive.
