start ME in command prompt

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

I cannot start ME and cannot access my start up CD and do not have a floppy
version. I'm trying to get into command prompt from start up and running
into some difficulty. I have a registry error I'm trying to fix. Any
suggestions?

Thanks Heirloom. Did the boot disk and received a "NTLDR is missing" prompt.
Microsoft says I need a bcupdate2 utility. I can't seem to find this.
