Evil children?
Hi all,
A friend of mine who has a W98FE machine and a little daughter came to me and said "she just deleted a bunch of files, can you rebuild it?" I got the key id with jelly bean and copied the cabs subdirectory to another hd. Then I rebooted/repartitioned/ reformated the main drive into C and D. Then I copied back the cab directory to a directory on D drive I called WIN98. So far so good. C drive is clean/empty and is 4G and D is 2.1G and has the WIN98 directory from the old hard drive before reconfiguration. I went to the WIN98 directory and typed in "setup" and it wasn't there. I copied a SETUP.EXE file from anoher W98FE machine and when I type it in on the computer it came from I get the appropriate response. I copied the file to the WIN98 directory on the machine I am trying to reconfigure and the response I get is "just jumps back to the command prompt". I thought it might be that the scandisk program was absent but it is in fact in the WIN98 directory. What am I missing, why doesn't setup go through its' normal process? thanks for any hints, charles..... |
