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 -----Original Message----- You *may* be able to recover them using an undelete program - but if you've been using the PC since, it's unlikely. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f...2001/Mar01/Mar 27pmvp.asp "Doug" wrote in message ... 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.
