Hi,
I'm considering doing a slightly clean reinstall of win98se.
This is on a clone pentium computer with a gigabyte board.
That entails deleting the windows directory and registry,
and having to reinstall all programs. I don't want to
format because I'd like to skip the hassle of reinstalling
all my data and directory trees.
However, while looking at the list of programs under
Add/Remove, I spotted the following two listings:
a. W98-ME Promise MBUltra133 (PDC20276)(tm) IDE Controller
b. W98-ME Promise MBFastTrack 133Lite (tm) Controller
When I boot up I notice on the dos screen the 'Promise Lite' program
running. If I delete Windows won't this program be deleted?
Is this something I will have to reinstall or not? I'm assuming
this has nothing to do with flash bios motherboard programs.
Thanks,
MB
