win 98 problem
I have a homemade pc that I bought recently and just recently when i try to
boot it will start opening windows and then immediatly windows will shut down from the startup screen (IT NEVER OPENS) the system has an intel mb and hardware but I know that it is not a hardware problem because when I put in another HDD from an old pc it was able to boot. I thought that it was the hd but I installed it as a slave drive and it works except for the drivers for the board. What would be causing windows to be doing this on the first drive and how do I fix it. I do not have the win 98 disk as it was preinstalled but there is a copy of the disk on the hd. help pleasa. |

win 98 problem
the article that Ron is referring to talks about my problem with one
exception it says to reinstall windows but I do not have the actual disk it is located on the hard drive controlled by windows which will not open so how can I reinstall windows. I am not trying to be sarcastic with this just wondering if there is a way. thanks in advance. |

win 98 problem
Press the F8 or CTRL key during the boot. When the Boot menu appears, choose
Command prompt only. From the command prompt, type: Scanreg /restore There is a space between the word scanreg and the /. Choose a date that is prior to your problem. PattyL "glenn" wrote in message ... how do I do this? yes i am a newbie lol.but at least I am honest and willing to learn lol. |
