overwritten files

Hey Noel....nice to hear from you again....its been about
a year since I've had problems and needed your help. The
drive on this machine is filling up and I'm trying to get
the other machine up and running. The new Maxtor hard
drive I bought doesn't like my Windows 98 se disc. There
must be something wrong with the disc. I can't even
create a startup floppy from it on this machine. Any
thoughts? And about the photos, seems like we never look
at them anyway....thanks

Doug

You *may* be able to recover them using an undelete
program - but if you've
been using the PC since, it's unlikely.

I was prompted to overwrite some photos I was dl
from my camara. Thinking they were identical, I agreed.
Does that mean they are gone gone, not even in the
recycle
bin?

There's no reason why the Maxtor and Win 98 shouldn't work happily
together - although the capacity of the drive could create problems with the
motherboard BIOS, and you may need to install Overlay software, or upgrade
the BIOS to enable the full drive to be read.

You can d/l just about any kind of boot disk you need from
www.bootdisk.com - the OEM versions are the full disks as created by the
Startup disk wizard.
