How big is your hard drive? Do you remember, or can you repeat, the
error? Details of such errors can go a long way towards diagnosing them.

How big is your hard drive, and do you recall how much free space it
has?

Two months ago, my hard drive on my windows 98se computer deintialized
following after when the pc power on/off button was pressed twice. I
tried
using the recovery disks that came with the computer, but the only
option is
to do a format, which I do not want as I wish to keep all the files
and data
that I created on my computer saved on the hard drive. I was wondering
if
there was a way to restart my hard drive and repair the corrupted
files on it
without losing the data on the hard drive. If this means that I need
to buy a
Windows 98se cd-rom to perform repair, I am willing to do that.
