You are going to need your XP Disk to perform a clean install.

If the XP disc came with your computer, then contact the company or
manufacturer that sold the computer to you.

Go to bootdisk.com and download the Windows ME OEM boot disk image and write
it to a floppy. Boot the floppy and run fdisk. REmove all partitions
including non-dos. Create a new primary partition reboot the floppy again
type format C:\ When that is done you have a brand new bald drive to load
any OS you want.
