kof94 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 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.

LLXX Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kof94 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critux Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 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.Regards, Critux.
