Win ME Upgrade to full

[kof94]

Hi,

I've been looking for way to make my Windows ME upgrade edition to a full version.

Before anyone starts talking about warez or anything, I have a full version of Windows SE which I've always upgraded from or just put in a second drive during install of ME.

I was wondering if I could take certain files from my SE disk and add to my ME disk to make it think there was already an SE installation to upgrade from.

The reason I wish to do this is because I'm in the middle of making my multi-boot and I want to be able to install ME directly without installing SE first (which is also on the disc).

If anyones got any ideas that be great.

Cheers.

If you can find an ME full version fileset you could compare the files with the upgrade version, to see which files are different. I doubt there are going to be many differences, so you should be able to figure it out easily.

I thought of that a while ago but I can't find anyone with a full copy, ME wasn't really that popular. A friend of mine suggested taking files from SE but couldn't remember which ones I'd need. So I'm stuck.

You find ME a good system ?

Using the multiboot cd (with at least WINME and WIN98SE on it)

Install Windows ME as normal, when asked for previous OS,

just select the Windows 98 SE "WIN98" Folder off the CD.

The install should continue as normal.

Not really but I've got it so it might aswell go on the disk!

I'm trying to avoid doing just that. Thanks for your suggestion though.
