Hi,

Your best option is to use a non-recover disk. Use a
normall installion disk and itstall a fresh copy of
windows. Recover disks are useless! If you would like
further assistance please don't hesitate to email me
), even if it's as simple
as 'step by step' instructions.
Good luck,

Paul

I have a Dell Dimension 4100 PC with windows 98se
operating system. I have had the PC for just over three
years. I have just had to reformat my hard drive, and on
trying to reinstall windows 98se from the supplied
recovery disc, I find I cannot as some files are missing
from the disc. I have contacted Dell but they do not
want
to know. I have tried to contact Microsoft but my
windows
98se ID has 29 digits/spaces and I can only enter 23
before the box stops me from entering any more.
Can anyone assist in either how I can recover windows
98se or contact Microsoft for assistance???
