Where Can I get a copy of ME?

Mar 7, 2004 2:38PM PST

I'm playing with an older Compaq without an operating system. The HD was formatted and I am looking for a copy of ME to try and get it up and running. 98 will also do, but honestly, I don't want to buy something just to find out the system has more problems.
This system I have now, a new machine is running XP and the jury is still out on this op system since I liked 98 and ME.
Any help will certainly be apriciated.

well as to load me we only can tell you the legal way try ebay, or a small shop as any other way is against forum rules

claimed I'd never need it. Boy, was I taken!!! I've since looked EVERYWHERE trying to purchase one, and there just aren't any available. If you find a retailer that sells them, please post back.
