3 months back my brother purchased a new Hewlett Packard PC
with it came the recovery Disc's that include Windows Me.

at the moment i an running win 98 on my HP PC and i would love to be able to get my brothers copy of Me on my computer.

i know that if i put the newer recovery cd's in and restart the computer it changes part of the bios and makes it so i can't use either my recovery disc's or my brothers set.

So could someone please help me out here i realllly wanna have win Me

Cheers
 
Unfortunately HP makes it so that you can not use a different pc's recovery disks with yours. I'm afraid you'll have to buy your own copy of ME and install it yourself.
