chas - to use plumerjr's link, you need to be able to boot the system to DOS. . . can you get that far? You mentioned that you couldn't get to a command prompt. . .
If you can't boot at all, you can try booting a Win98 Cd, or a Win98 bootable floppy (there are several available at http://www.bootdisk.com - use the version that matches your 98) Have you had the laptop a long time, or did it just arrive as a troubled hand-me-down? . . . Gary |
