    Retail versions of Windows ME were "expansion" or "upgrade" disks for Windows 98. The version you have (the non-bootable kind) were meant to upgrade from windows 95/98 to Windows ME. They had the full install on them, but were not meant to be used as a clean install CD.

    You could probably take the PCI-E slot that holds the AirPort card and adapt it to a full slot to plug in a USB controller that actually has drivers for 9x. It's also possible that if your model has a discrete GPU, it _might_ be replaceable with a different card that supports 9x. I'm not sure what socket it's using, but looking at ifixit's teardown, they mention it might be standard.

    Lock was not part of MS-DOS 6.x, but it was part of DOS 7 (Win95/98) and DOS 8 (WinMe) to help protect long file names. You would typically just type "lock c:" thought to allow those "risky operations".

    so, adding a bit here. WIndows uses int13h in real mode to access the HDD. msconfig can force that (it's Force ocompatibility mode disk access) which might be making the difference TBH. PS/2 devices are emulated through the use of System Management Mode, and as long as something is polling the fake PS/2 port, it should still be sending events.
    Modular Windows (aka SETUP.EXE) is likely also using 32-bit disk access which is why that's falling over as well. Dunno if you tried that, but if I had an iMac, I'd poke this. Apple's BIOS compatibility was pretty garbage all around, it was just enough to start NTLDR, and I remember GRUB had to patch some things to make Linux work on Macs.

    My instinct would be to check if (1) drivers for older Nvidia devices might work and (2) see if anyone has made a universal driver.
    Then, if I was really dedicated, I might try to find a USB to keyboard PS/2 active adapter that worked with Windows ME. And then try actually using a PS/2 keyboard or mouse, depending on which was available. Also could try a USB COM port adapter.

    Reminds me of that scene where Bean replaced Whistler’s Mother with his own drawing. I remember running Windows ME in the early 2000’s and it used to blue screen multiple times a day along with other problems on the hardware it was actually created to run on. A clean re-install every month resolved some issues but doing so meant having to remove every stick of RAM but one and then replacing all 512MB when done. I’m surprised the abomination you created worked at all. Quoting Victor Frankenstein "It’s Alive".

    Hi - this was good to watch
    Just some things that may help
    When setting up plain dos 6.2 , there are 2 Cd-bootable 4meg and a 5 or 6 meg dos 6.22 iso's running around, it is basically a 6.22 start up disk but has some extra batch file to all fdisk and installing or upgrading dos, i have used this on Pentium 3- Pentium 4 , and much newer Pentium M and C class machines that are basically 2000-2010 win XP style machines or newer
    Secondly once the base dos 6.22 is installed in you cant read the CD/DVD then i use a USB (linux puppy 4 or 5 is good , small and fast on newer machines ) and i drop some other cdrom drivers for config.sys , they include the normal dos 5 and dos 6 , teac branded driver, toshiba driver, oaksystems, gscdrom.sys , videccd.sys
    I enable each driver in config sys - all grouped togeter and i give each one a seperate naem in its line in config sys - i just call them cd1, cd2 , cd3 etc
    In the autoexec.bat i used multiple lines of mscdex.exe and after the exe name i quote each of the cdrom names i used in config.sys - they mush be exact match
    This way when it boots i hi have about 5 or 6 different drivers and hope one works - i have had some good success this way and interesting enough the oak and the toshiba drivers usuallywork - even on dvd laptops
    once i get one to work i just edit config.sys and autoexec.bat and rem out the ones not needed
    The same with the mouse driver,again i use dos 5 oand .22 default exe/com's i use mouse.com , qmouse, ctmouse ( from freedos i have 2 or 3 verison of this one is better in legacy / PS2 i just rename them ctmouse1 ctmouse2)
    Not sure with WinME as it is dos based, but you should be able to create a initial 2gig dos 6.22 partition, set it up to bootable ( i dont know why your format and the sys did not work, usually it is 99% you do format /u ( the /u is for unconditional and not a quick format ) i normally do that first to make sure the entire partition is properly formatted as format /q just wipes the fat table and prepares the first few sectors only ( well its not what it does technically but that is the way i tell myself it is a quick cheat and not a proper format )
    Once i know the partition hold a format, you can then do a format /s to reformat and make it system bootable, or you can just do sys c: ( or sys and the drive letter )
    Remember - you cannot format is sys the drive letter you booted from, if you cdrom boot or usb boot that is fine, you can format and sys the hard drive, but if you rebooted and are on that working partition / driver letter you cannot run those 2 commands - well it is sort of self destruct isnt it
    Re the no working ME, what i have done in the past is boot of USB with linux or even freedos, i copy and install the suitable version or remote control software Real VNC www.realvnc.com/en/
    there should be a unzip or folder runable archive ( not one that needs to run and install and attach to registry etc ) and edit the win.ini or systemm.ini and add it to the run= section, it will auto load and run the program, once that is done you can remote control that pc from another system
    Note for win98x or similar do you do need a very early version 4 to work on these older windows
    Regards
    George

    well 2:03 i nfact if you install win 10 on an Hard drive, swap that HardRive inside the mac, it should boot windows, granted there is no driver support but it boots...
    So if you just dd if=/WindowsHDD/ of=/MacOsHDD/ you can get windows on your mac Whitout actually swapping any hard drive.
    Aditionally you can dd if=/MacosHDD/ of=/Externalhdd/ | and proceed to Boot MacOS in a Virtual Machine from any other Machine/OS

      @@auto1lija Yeah it is. It's truly far less stable than Windows 98 ever was (and Windows 9x was already an unstable mess compared to Windows NT) and the few new features it included, such as Windows Movie Maker and System Restore, just weren't enough to justify using it over Windows 98. All the other "new" features of Windows Me such as Internet Explorer 5.5 and Windows Media Player 7 were released for Windows 98 anyway via Windows Update. Windows Me had a very short development time and was intended as a quick stop-gap release between Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows XP for home users and that much is fairly obvious.

      @@auto1lija It is true that computer manufacturers are partly to blame due to them not writing drivers specifically for Windows Me, however Microsoft still did not test Windows Me nearly as much as they did all previous, and future, versions of Windows. As I mentioned before, Windows Me only had a very short development time of about a year from start to finish - that's including the time to beta test it, and it was only intended as a short stop-gap between Windows 98 and Windows XP for home users. Because Windows Me was essentially just Windows 98 Third Edition, and it removed more than it added (real-mode DOS support being the biggest example) and often ran slower than Windows 98, most users just stuck with Windows 98 and those who bought a new computer with Windows Me pre-installed usually just installed Windows 98 on their computer anyway so they could use games and applications that required real-mode DOS.
