Default Bootup Problem on E-3200

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?

Thanks!
Scott

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.

Another option would be to grab "DoubleSafety" from the GAOTD website.
As it is free today only.
