Crapola....Here I am after having reformatted my C:\ drive and I reinstalled Windows 98SE and thought I'd be rid of XP! But nooooo.... I have had hell getting drivers/software installed on almost every piece of equipment I have. A tech support guy for my HP scanner said something about debug.exe having to be run to remove any remnants of the stuff that XP puts on a drive for recovery purposes. Does anybody have any suggestions. Will the utility that writes all zero's to a drive fix this?
