    well providing you have a legit cd key i see no reason why it would be illegal to download a copy off the net or to lend a friends disk etc


    only download it off the net if you have your own LEGITAMATE cd key mind, or else your commiting a crime

    What i meant was the instalation disk that came with my Dell computer when i bought it 4 yrs ago says only for DEll computers.With a formatted Drive will i be able to install a Full Version of Win Me on that same computer,So long as i have the Key Code.

    The cd will only work on the computer it came with. If its the same machine it came with yes you can install it. even if the drive is formatted

    .rar is a compressed file. like a zip file. I use Winrar to open them.
    Does your pc boot to the boot screen? [the black screen with white writing] These restore disks will fix Windows if it has gone bad they will not repair a broken pc. Usually you put the cd in the cd-rom and boot the pc, the restore should start. You will lose all data stored on the pc. It will restore Windows to the exact same state as when the pc was brand new.
