Windows ME still had the same loading sequence as Windows 95/98. That is, DOS kernel booted and then loaded the Windows code. Now it is true that Windows 95 and above mostly bypassed DOS once it was loaded, and DOS was used as merely a boot loader. And Windows ME made that more hidden. But you could still extract a DOS version out of ME (open a command window, use "format /s", then copy the various DOS command executables from the one directory to the floppy). You could then use this to boot DOS, and type "win" or something like that to load Windows ME.
