My E-3200 desktop with Win98 has had a problem booting up twice
recently. After recognizing the CD ROM, it starts displaying lines and
lines of drivers, plus MSD, MSD, MSD, MSD, etc. After shutting it
down a few times, it reboots normally.

Is this a registry issue?

Other than doing a "scanreg /restore" the next time this happens, is
there something I can do to prevent this from occurring again?

Got a great backup program? If not, this one will do the job for free.

That is the first thing I would do.

According to the system requirements listed at that site, it
doesn't support Win 9x, so it won't do him much good. :-(

Ken & Scott,

A solution would be to use clonezilla, it will clone a drive to another
drive the same size or larger...

I like Clonezilla and use it all the time, it is a free stand alone
Linux Live CD, and it will clone most drives, Linux or Microsoft
formats...

Certainly is an easy way to back up your hard drive.
