I am trying to run my Windows Me computer but then I get the following message:

'VMM32.VXD is required to run Windows. If this file is not in your path, you may need to reinstall windows'.

And when I try to reinstall windows I get the following message:

'CDR101: Not ready reading drive N.'


I am stuck on this situation, My guess is my reinstall Disc 2 is empty.

So what do you guys suggest?
 
Hi,
Couple of q's:
Is it a copy of the software u are trying to install:
are u putting the CD into the CDROM drive or the Copying drive?
Are u on a network:
 
At the command prompt, type:
dir vmm32.vxd /s

If the Vmm32.vxd file is not found, you must install Windows ME again. If the Vmm32.vxd file is found, note the folder in which it is located, and then continue with.
Using a text editor (such as Notepad), edit the Autoexec.bat file and add or modify the PATH line so that it includes the Windows\System folder. For example, add the following line to your Autoexec.bat file:
path=c:\windows\system

It looks like a reload.
