He wants you to get SuSE lol. Windows 98 is kinda old =/

Oh, and how would this fix my problem? i cant install anything since when i click on the "Close" botton of the error, the screen is blank... no icons no start menu or anything... A.K.A= Nothing

Would re-installing windows 98 Replace this file?... Well that is if the WIN98 cd will load before the error does

Yes, reinstalling Windows 98 will fix everything, except for the fact that you're still using Windows.

BRING IT

I cant really upgrade to winXP, my comp is only Pentium II and well, i guess the only alternative i have is to format.

Would some1 do a step by step or post a link on how to format hardrive saving My Documents? Thnx alot!

!!!~

Isnt there a way to do a System Repair using the CD?

You copy "My Documents" to an ftp server, or to a cd or a dvd.  Then you format.

if there really is one, then i would like to know how.  but, like i said before, i cant go into anything after the error......... so that means i cant go into drives or anything... Nothing.      AFTER ERROR IS PURE BLANK SCREEN

Maybe is there a SFC = SYSTEM FILE CHECKER for  Disket so, maybe i can fix this problem by the floppy, i Wouldnt know but i need help on this plz.....

My docs is about 5 GIGS -_- i dont think its gonna be that easy  to burn all that on a cd or couple of cd's, besides i cant get into any drives so its impossible for me to burn anything on that computer, and well....to copy them back, is gonna be a mess, comp crashes mojority of time when i'm copying something from the cd to c:\ and sometimes freezez.  I know there is a way to save you documents without having to burn anything to a cd, the thing is, i dont know how :P
Thnx

You can get an external harddrive an a linux boot disk.  Knoppix (www.google.com/search?q=knoppix) will let you boot into Kde, and from there you can copy the files onto an external drive or to another network computer or something.

Aye, and SuSE 9.1 will also let you boot into KDE.  SuSE 9.1.
[Note: LinuxISO.org appears to be offline at the moment.]

Should totally get an external harddrive. I bought an 80GB Western Digital one this summer and my life has been easier. I have a 120gb internal harddrive and I've only used about fifty gigs of it , but I've used 75gigs of my external. I once lost some important stuff from human error while formatting, which is why I wanted one. Now, I can easily backup important documents and stuff and I keep all of my ripped music/movies/ebooks on my external so if I do need to backup, I'm not spending days burning it all. Highly recommended, ask for one for Christmas. :)

k thnx guys, i'll try to get anohter harddrive,  i got 2, c:\=20GIG, and D:\=5GIG and the D:\ is almost full so i guess i'll get another  one and format c:\ , btw is there a way i could get in on d:\ and fix this problem?
Thnx
Thnx

Go down to your local Fry's electronics (or Best Buy or CompUSA or Radio Shack or whatever other local computer shop you want) and ask around for some help. I'm sure you'll find someone who'll be willing to help you, and it'll be a lot easier for you (even if you wind up with a fee) instead of trying to fix the problem yourself. It's especially useful if you don't know a whole lot about how to fix things. It'd be even more helpful if you won't have another computer to ask for help on if you encounter a problem while reformatting... but if that's the case, you wouldn't be able to start this thread here, would you?

well, here is a newbie question but, if i take out the harddrive and put it in another CPU will it still have the same error at startup?

Take tA-Kane's advice.

Do you mean boot off it, or just read it?

If you intend to boot (run windows) off it, then yes, it most likely will.

If you plan on making it a slave drive, then it'll be ok, and you can copy your files off it.

Oh ok thnx and i'll take tA-Kane  advice
