We run System Commander on all of our laptops at work. You install it thru win 9x. It does a whole lot of work for you as far as setting up and formatting partitions, making adding another OS very easy. We have Win NT, 98, and DOS6.2 on our laptops. …

Greetings My Mother-in-law finally decided to get DSL and received the "kit" the other day. I put in a network card and got it set up thru WIN98SE. No problems there. The software that came with the DSL modem/router tells me that I need to install a network card in …

[QUOTE=viperman224]I have a Western Digital 40 gig hard drive. I installed XP pro on it using the NTFS file system. Is there any way to go back FAT32? DOS will not see NTFS to my knowledge. thanks[/QUOTE] If you wish to change the drive's file system, you will have to …

You may need to get into your CMOS setup so the computer can "see" the drive. If your comp doesn't auto detect drives, it won't see it until you "force it" to. My $.02

I think AMD is the best "bang for your buck". Pentiums are nice, but you're paying a premium for the name. That's my two cents.

If your old computer had "Go-Back" in it, you'll have to get rid of it first before the new OS can recognize it. Here's a link that will provide some help.

You need to run fdisk and see if your partition has been "undone". If so you'll have to create the partition, format it and re-install your stuff. If you're partition is still there, verify that the partition is active. That's all I can think of now. Best of luck.

It would be interesting to see if the on board display is alive while boot-up is going on. Perhaps you could borrow a monitor switch or a second monitor to hook up and observe? My W(ild)A($$)G(uess) is that during the intitial hardware start, your display is on-board. Something to try.

I don't know about win95 or ME, but the start-up disk for win98 doesn't have the "deltree" command on the disk. I added the file in a "custom" star-up disk I made. If you can boot up your computer and get the CD working, put in the OS cd and …

Unfortunately, you need SOME way to make the computer boot. See if a friend has a win 98 startup disk. This will alow you to gain access to the drives and hopefully undo what you did. Best of luck. Bob

Just in case there is any other poor soul on this board that is still running Win98 like me, read this short article.

I find it amusing that with all the "Window Smashers" out there, that their choice for an OS has all the "look and feel" of the product they're trashing! For every satisfied customer I'm sure you'll find dis-satisfied ones. And vice-versa. I've benn running Win98 & 98SE for quite a …

If you are trying to get rid of the program name in the add/remove programs section of control panel and the program has already been removed, you will need to get into the registry to delete that key. Not a simple task, but can be done. (Very dangerous...You go first.) …
