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 |

According to the system requirements listed at that site, it doesn't support Win 9x, so it won't do him much good. :-( Ken Whiton -- FIDO: 1:132/152 InterNet: L (remove the obvious to reply) |

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. http://www.clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/ LiveCD info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD JR the postman |
