I have only one floppy drive in reality. It was faulty so I installed a new one yesterday. Since then, Windows recognises the new drive but as drive B and insists that the old drive is still there as drive A. This isn't just a minor point as certain functions (such as creating a startup disc)...

I recently upgraded my windows from 98 to XP. In my impatience I completly forgot to backup any files or do any major preparation for an upgrade. My old documents are now gone and I was wondering if there is any possible way to retreive them be it downgrading back to 98 or something of that...

I just started having a strange problem with my Win 98SE system When I do a restart after a Win hangup, the system used to do a scandisk while in Dos to check the files.
