not enough disc space by ppoatt
Try a thorough Scandisk. DO NOT have the Repair Automatically line checked. It is best to see the report before repairing any bad sectors on the HD. "not enough disk space report" could mean there is a bad sector on the HD that the OS can't read beyond. Is "Sage" a game? Are you installing it to...

Scandisk by Donald McCann
I clone a 4.3G to a 40G HD and yes scandisk could not see/read the new 40G hard drive. Did you clone your new disk? If so, it is the cluster sizes that are messing you up. FDisk, Reformat and Reinstall is the only way that I found to work for me. Hope this helps.

Browsers Crashing Win98SE by gpp
Thanks for all your suggestions. I've since narrowed the problem down to a Java corruption/conflict. There were 2 Java plugin icons in Control Panel, I found a disable button on the older one and updated the newer one to version 1.4.0_01. Now IE seems stable but Netscape is still a bit flaky....
