Hi Bernie,
}- Not necisary, and I never said he should go into the CMOS
}- since I don't think that his problem is with this. He had one
}- HD and it was 8G and he saw 2G of it. Doesn't that point to
}- the fact that it either isn't partioned or ins't formatted?
Hmmmmm... If it were a pure DOS system I'd say yes, but I have
no experience with Win98, and only little experience with Win95.
Also I have no experience with a drive that big. Heavens to
Betsy, I have no idea what I would *do* with a drive that big on
a home machine. I guess when you're talking about Windows and
the accompanying bloatware though...
}- And the diffrence to your idea of going directly to service
}- would be that he would:
}- 1. waste his money
}- 2. don't learn anything but get even more stuck in the use of
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a very good point I hadn't thought of :)
}- Of course he should back everything up (I told him that to).
}- Never thought of having a complete Win 98 install, good point.
I have known people who have years of computer experience who
don't make backups, my husband is one of them! <grin> As for
the complete install of Win98, you know how M$ is, they always
release 17 versions of something when 2 or 3 would do. My son
tells me most of them are bug fixes, no matter what M$ says.
<grin>
