I just need to back up my files to a cd then I want to completely reformat the computer, but when in safe mode it does not recognize my D drive.

Yes, maybe... Using a "cross-over" cable is possible with Win98. But it's a
real pain to implement, and made much more problematic when trying to implement it on an "ailing" machine. What is a *MUCH* more important consideration is that if there are any malware/viruses active on the ailing machine, networking is going to prove much more dangerous to the healthy machine than simply swapping the drives as we've already suggested. -- Gary S.

need help please!!!! on win 98 himem.sys is missing
i owe somebody lunch!!!!!!!!!! thank you all for your help. My only
dillema now is that after saving all my files and trying to reformat my bad computer, in the middle of the reformat the computer says "cd101 not ready reading drive m abort,retry,fail". This happens when it gets down to extracting windows: options/cabs14. I would retry it when this message comes up and then it says "pkunzip error in table" then finishes off the whole reformat but unsuccesfully. Any thoughts? Again... I can't tell you how thankful I am! On Jan 11, 7:13 am, "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: Yes, maybe... Using a "cross-over" cable is possible with Win98.

OK, whose suggestion did you use and next, who are you close to for that
free lunch? G What you are saying doesn't make sense. The .cab files are not extracted during the middle of a format. You need to provide exact details of what you are doing and when in the process that things occur. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ups.com... i owe somebody lunch!!!!!!!!!! thank you all for your help.
