W98 Second Edition on a fresh partition so that I could get to my XP PRO
system to copy it (doesn't work as W98 doesn't recognise NTFS). (I will
probably get round this with Partition Magic recovery disks).
However among...

GB-limit). Applying...

A phenomenon I have observed in Windows XP is that when I compact in =
Outlook Express before running Disk Defragmenter then file fragmentation =
is less when Disk Defragmenter analyses the disk.

How does one remove an USB Flash Drive safely from Windows 98 SE? by
Ant
In Windows 2000 and XP, one goes through the system tray and remove it
by telling Windows that you're not using the drive anymore because of
possible data loss. I assume it was the same for 9x, but then I noticed
USB system tray icon was missing. PCMCIA system tray icon exists to stop
the devices...
