Solve : Windows 98 to ME?

Answer» <html><body><p>We have 3 pcs---original owners of all three.  One runs on 98, one on ME, and one on XP.  I tryed to upgrade the pc running windows 98 to ME edition.  It comes up with the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/following-463335" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOLLOWING">FOLLOWING</a> message:<br/><br/>This <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/version-1444891" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VERSION">VERSION</a> of Windows ME edition cannot be installed on your computer.  Please obtain the correct version from your computer manufacturer.  Message: SU0173<br/><br/>Why would I not be able to install ME on this computer?  I could see it if it were an illegal copy of ME, but this is our original cd that came with our computer.<br/><br/>The computer in question (98) is a Gateway, and our pc running ME is an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hp-480511" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HP">HP</a>.  Would that have anything to do with why the gateway will not except this version of windows?<br/><br/>Any help you can give would be appreciated.<br/>MarleneDid you buy the winME disk separately or is it one that came with the winME PC? Often the disks that come with a PC are restore disks and don't work on other units. The disk that came with my HP (98) is a restore disk that works only on that PC. That's probably what you have as well. <br/>Rick Marlene2...... Exactly how are you trying to install Win ME on the  win 98 machine ?<br/>Is the ME program one that came with a Dell machine by any chance ?<br/><br/>dl65Thanks for your responses.<br/>The ME disks  were  not bought seperately... they came with our pc when we bought it.  I thought because we are the original owner that I could take the ME disks and use them to upgrade our  pc that runs windows 98.  I didn't reformat hdd, just put the first cd into the cd rom drawer and began upgrading.  It started to copy some files, then came up with the message that I stated in my earlier post.<br/><br/>Windows 98 is running fine on our Dell.  Just thought I'd upgrade to ME.<br/>Thanks for your help<br/>Marlene<br/><br/><br/>I agree with the others. The restore disks are keyed to that machine probably and to the manufacturer, at least. It just won't work. Sorry!  Thanks for all your help-----I think you're right!  Which is fine, the 98 is working great!<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>MarleneAnd to be honest you're much better off with Win98.  Choose 98 or XP, but never ME...  Ugh.
