Ya, that is a drawback, not being able to boot to DOS. I can`t recall
if the 98SE install I did was clean or not, that could`ve been the problem.
ME was a clean install, and it runs good. I`m not that much of a gamer,
but I do like the old DOS games. ME does have a great support for
drivers, video, USB, CD burners, and multimedia is great.
