I dont think you can do this if windows is running. Does the me install disk not give you the option to delete/format?

You need to boot from CD, go into bios and set CD as first boot device.

I haver never actually had to reinstall Me - I always bin it in favour of 2K or XP

download a free program called EFDISK or AEFDISK and put on a bootable diskette. This will sort out your partitions.
