Win98 is partition one. Linux is part two and NT was supposed to be partition three. On trying to install - it screwed the partition table up. Therefore, NT is not installed just now. I think the data is fine in Partition one - its just inaccessible because the partition info is incorrect. I really need some program that can "fix" this partition table entry. > > It is a true pain in the ass to re-install win98 and Ive already done > > way too many times THIS lifetime. > > > > If only linux could run VB, Ms Access and all the Windoze games - I > > could get rid of windows altogether.

Thats what I use but my clients use Ms Access front ends and so that one is needed and VB - same reason - RAD in Win. Will look at transgaming though - looks good. Thanx Shri
