Why do you want to install window ME in dosbox? As far as I understand the use of dosbox is to run the old dos programs that won't run under windows 64 bits system.
 
Yes, DOSbox is not meant to install an operating system. It's meant to emulate a DOS environment to run old DOS-based games and [sometimes] programs.

If you want to install Windows ME, download and use Microsoft Virtual PC or VirtualBox. I personally recommend VirtualBox, but VirtualPC is more for the less knowledgeable user.
 
i did it to run windows 95/98 in dosbox with created with the bximage command harddisk .img's
so i want to give it a try with Windows ME too

this is what i type to start winME

mounting the harddisk image:

imgmount c winme.img

and boot it:

boot winme.img

WinME runs off the NT kernal. It doesn't run off a GUI DOS shell like Windows 95 and Windows 98 do.

And like I said before, DOSbox isn't meant to run a complete OS. It's only meant to emulate DOS.
 
i mean with that dosbox ''crashing'' in his title-bar ''DOSBox 0.74 Cycles max 100 cycles program: BOOT (not responding)'' with a white-faded screen.

I personally think you should just use VirtualPC or VirtualBox for whatever you're trying to do.
