Boot to Error Message
Appreciate some assistance.
Have a friend who decided to delete some 'stuff'. Whatever he deleted brought about the following: When PC starts to boot, an error message appears on the black screen as follows: Not ready reading drive B: Abort, Fail, or Retry. Current drive no longer valid>Install The PC was running W98 (do not know if FE or SE) There was no drive 'B' on the PC.!!!!!! The drives are: A:\, C:\, D:\ ('Compaq partition'), and E:\ (CD-ROM) Is there a way to get back to Windows again? Thanks in advance for your help. |

I think drive B is for a second floppy. I know this will sound a little vauge, but try going into the BIOS and disabling Drive B.

Thanks for the reply.
Drive A was selected in the BIOS. PC had Windows wiped out of it. Was able to restore. |
