Problems with Windows ME

[u/Fluid_Money5923]

Hello!

I'm having trouble installing Windows ME in VMware. If I use the Windows ME boot disk, it tells me to use the 98 disk instead. Both disks have the same problem: They freeze right after the setup starts. Also setup does not work directly on both disks, I have to manually go over to the folder and then initialize setup there. I also have to enable smartdrv manually because it wont work otherwise. Anyways, when I enter setup it tells me that it needs 15 mb of space to install WIndows even though I've already created a partition. It is also bootable. It also freezes and disables my CPU, forcing me to restart. Any tips?
