I am attempting to install windows ME onto a blank, formatted harddrive from the DOS prompt. I used my ME Boot disk to start up with CD-ROM enabled, and I access my cd drive (E:\) with my ME disk in it. When I run setup.exe from the ME disk, I preforms a scandisk check, then once the scandisk is over, i get the following error:



Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
EC=0000 CS=0053 IP=2970 AX=0000 DX=1060 CX=FFF0 DX=038D
S1=03B4 DI=0001 BP=4278 DS=0000 ES=0394 SS=0048 SP=4260


any idea what that is about??

Standard Mode Messages
----------------------
If you get any of the following error messages, remove any
memory managers (such as EMM386.exe, QEMM, or 386Max) from
your Config.sys file, and then run Setup again.

Standard Mode: Invalid DPMI return.
Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
Standard Mode: Bad Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
Standard Mode: Unknown stack in fault dispatcher.
Standard Mode: Stack Overflow.

NOTE: If you still have problems, add EMM386.exe back into
your Config.sys file and exclude all ranges. For example:

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe x=A000-FFFF

If you encounter these messages or if your computer stops
responding during Setup, turn on double-buffering in
SmartDrive. Several SCSI hard drives and some ESDI drives
require double-buffering.

To turn on double buffering, add the following line to
the beginning of your Config.sys file:

device=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer+

where "c:\windows" is the path to your Windows directory.
