Also take note that some Compaq machines have
a ghost version of the OS on the HDD even if you
do a clean  install.

I installed ME on a friend's machine and when it took
only 5 minutes I was quite amazed.  Digging a bit deeper
I found that they use Ghost32 and doing a proper clean
install was problematic.
