here are more details:
well, the problem was that the PC kept on rebooting and wouldn't boot in safe
mode either. So I thouht of reinstalling the OS. Finally, last night I was
able to reinstall ME after having reloaded and reformatted atleast 5-6 times,
everything went well and I was able to upgade the PC to XP Pro as well. Then
I downloaded an oaded yahoo msgr, netscape & MSN msgr was also loaded and
then when I loaded skype, it started to reboot continuously and wouldn't
allow me to log in the safe mode either... then I thought of going through
the whole process again (loading ME with the recovery CDs and then upgrading
to XP with the upgrade CD), but then thrice I tried to load ME and everytime,
when both recovery CD's are loaded, it gives a terminating error and shuts
down the PC. If the PC is just switched on, it says that it doesn't have any
OS. So don't know what to do....
Please help......
