Well I am running win xp pro on my gateway computer. my computer is a 933, and I have enough ram and everything else. it runs very nice by itself. I resently started using VMware Workstation 3.0, and I have only had a few minor problems with it. I was wanting to have a virtual computer with win me on it cause I didn't have any trouble with it when it was my os (...and I really put a lot of stress on it). anyway, my computer came with a set of disks to reinstall all the factory stuff. I know which cd is for ME, and I put it in, but it won't install because the virtual computer isn't a gateway. I then thought of making my own windows cd by taking everything other than the booting files and making a new bootable cd, since I am assuming that the booter checks what type of system I have. My problem is that I don't know how to make a bootable file that I can use for installing windows me. I opened both files in Visual C++ 6.0, and they are in hex (and all I know is what hex is, not how to program anything with it) Please help me out if you can
