2.What is HDD data?
Hard Disk Drive data. In other words by using option 1 you will wipe your hard disk drive clean as part of the restore with the loss of all your data and installed applications. 3.Will I be able to save assorted doc's and info. I've accumulated over the years? Not if you choose option 1. What problems are you having that make you feel you need to reinstall Win Me and return your PC to the state it was in when first delivered? For virtually all problems such drastic action is not required. Could you also check and see if you have a C;\Windows\Options\Cabs folder containing several CAB files including PRECOPY1.CAB, BASE2.CAB, CATALOG.CAB, NET3.CAB, DRIVER5.CAB and several WIN_??.CAB files as sell as the file setup.exe? Knowing this will help whoever responds to your reply about why you want to reinstall Win Me. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP [2001-2004] Jim wrote: I am about to restore Me on the above system but have a couple of questions. 1.
