Talking Win ME boot problem with yoga

Hi, there,


Starving to play the best RPG and others games I started rapid improvement of my hardware.
Starting from rating 1.0 I am reaching 5.6 from 7 possible now..
We are speaking about Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit OS.
And multi-OS's. I have also Win Me and Win XP at the same machine.
Nice.
But the problem waits me just around the corner.
During the last improvement big fail occurred: I decided to up my RAM from 2 to 3 GB.
OK. The officer believed me and gave me the RAM chip of 1 GB to install on the MB.
I returned home, opened my Desk-top machine and very carefully, following instruction pressed the chip into the relevant slot on MB.
Voila!!!
I saw a terrible smoke on that area.
My MB was kaput!!!!
(I swear then than in the future will never change the RAM alone but in the office of the company!!)
...Back to officer and for 15 Euros he replaced my MB with new one..
But...returning back home I realized that my both OS (ME and XP) are vanished.
No Save mode helped, nothing..
ME is very important for me because my old Scanner – PhotoMaker 3E is supported by ME driver base only.
Well, as You probably know that is impossible to install older OS version on Win 7 (to be fair this act is possible but one will be victim of so many problems, that is better to ignore it), I decided to try Virtual machine to install so needed ME and maybe after XP.
The Internet wizards warned me that to do this I will need boot-able diskette of ME. Sadly, I lost my original Boot diskette of ME and was forced to visit the site www.allbootdisks.com to download the file Windows98_SE.exe. (about 873 Kb).
(SE = Second edition, there are no significant differences between SE and ME.)
Then I inserted an empty diskette to my floppy A and extract the file in 30 files which have to form the boot-able diskette.
Then I switched on my PC, then I pressed button F12, entered BIOS, pressed Floppy A as First boot device.
Sadly, PC does not liked and recognized that diskette as boot-able.
So I do not boot ME now, which is fatal for my installment of Win Me.


HELP!!
