C:/ part alone. Any way get rid of them short of hitting delete
10,000 times. Also, anyway to get WP98 to clean this up on own.

New PC, 98 with old BIOS by
William B. Lurie
That's the best I can describe it.
I have a hard drive from my old PC and it won't
boot in Normal Mode in my new PC, I suspect because
it was mad with a different BIOS.
However, it boots just fine in Safe Mode.
Is there a way to get around this?
(I hope I made it clear enough).
Thanks.
