HardDrive issue by
Bob
I reformated my main physical Hardrive, and reinstalled
win98, the problem is however, that "My Computer" does not
show anything for my 2nd physical harddrive, that was
present before the formating and reinstallation.
The 2nd HD shows up in my BIOS, how can I fix this!!?
Thanx in advance

Three Easy (?) Questions by
Bob W
1. Can the floppy disk drive be dropped from a PC and CD
drive be used instead?
2. How do you make a startup CD disk?
3. Is the startup disk simply a DOS startup or is it OS
sensitive?

Now that I have all the files I need off the old computer that I've mentioned
before, I'd like to reformat the hard drive and install Windows 98SE (I

Uses for 20G & Up HDDs by
Brad
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

Uses for 20G and Up HDDs by
Brad
Hi,
The largest HDD I have is 10G, with over 6G free space. I already had

as a server, why in the world would anyone want a 20G or larger...
