I have files on a 31/2 disk from windows 95. I have windows 98. How do I open the files? I need step by step insturctions. thanks:

I am in need of further assistance in bringing the above system back to life after the Hard Drive was wiped. At this point I have succeeded only in getting a C: prompt after FDISK, FORMAT /S, & Partioning Drives. I have no problem reading the floppy A: drive. In order to install the OS I will need...

After a failed attempt to add a CDRW along with the existing CD ROM, I was no longer had a "D" ddrive. I returned the CD ROM to its original configuration without the new CDRW but no luck. I have tried everything I can think of. Windows does not see the installed CD ROM. Any ideas?

hi to all, Thank you in advance for reading this. I recently started using a older model of a laptop. this is a dell Latitude CPi. When i booted it up with windows 98 the screen resolution was awful. Right now the only options are 16 or 2 colors. I can only go to 640x480 resolution. I have...

CDROM not working, I have tried reinstalling but I can't get it to work. I do notice that at startup there a lot of error messages regarding the cdrom. looking at the startup line by line I see a lot of errors in my config.sys file referring to C:\HXCD- ROM\CDROM.SYS on lines 20,36,49,58,66 and on...

Hi, The largest HDD I have is 10G, with over 6G free space. I already had to replace a couple HDDs. Anything I want to save, has been "burned" on CD Roms. If your computer is not used for collecting videos or music, or used as a server, why in the world would anyone want a 20G or larger...

The drive whirrs went I try to access it thru Windows Explorer and I get the following...

Jeff, thanks for replying back to my post about performing a clean install of Windows 98. See, I was a little unsure because when I did this with Windows Xp last month it seemed that the fdisk utility and the formatting were all built into the Windows Xp installation Cd that came with my pc. Very...

cdr101 not ready what does this mean ....other than i can not restore my hp comp to it's original state. it reads the drive but won't run the program.

My CDR and CDRW used to work fine. Neither can be accessed now - all I get is a message saying " not accessible; device not ready". This has been a gradual process, certainly as far as the CDRW is concerned. Originally it would read and write. Then it stopped writing CDRW, then, from time to time,...

Thanks Jeff, you are probably correct, it looks like I have got only 1 GB Hard disk space. What do you suggest that I do? Thanks in anticipation Peter -----Original Message----- Right-click the drive icon in My Computer and look at Properties - what is the total partition size? If you only...

Trying to do a recovery. I have 2 disk. When I insert Dist 1 I click on recovery. It runs thru its process up until a certain point. It says: "CDR101: Not ready reading drive M." Do you want to abort? retry? fail? I've tried them all and abort is all it will do. I can't get past the error message....

Hi "Lil' Dave", HDDs have many vulnerabilities, therefore I would not trust them for keeping important files or OS backup. The heads are only microns from the surface of the spinning platters. A sudden jolt could cause the head to bounce off the platter surface, or if "writing", overwrite data...

I can only get my CD-ROM or My CD Burner to work, but not both. I have tried all the combinations of the jumper switch on back of the CD-ROM/ Burner. I notice that when I boot up the computer that it stops at the Ambioso and looks for the CD-ROM. I notice at that point under the ATAPI DEVICE that...
