Hello all,
My 4100 was infected with something that wold not allow the HD to boot
up. It freezes up on boot, defrag & scandisk as well.
I installed a new HD & loaded Win 95b into it, all is OK, special thanks
to WZsr. for his help.
Now I put the infected crashed HD back into the system as a non bootable
HD, and I was able to retrieve all my info from it, all the contents in
it read OK and functions fine as long I do not do a defrag or scandisk
(it will freeze).
In this mode, can I wipe it clean & install Win 98se into it? The new
bootable drive is "C", the infected one is partitioned ("D & E").
Can I leave it in the system as is to do a clean install of Win 98se?
How would I wipe it out, reformat, scandisk & reload it from where it is
currently ? I am thinking I must put it back as a bootable HD to do the
above.
Thanks
Steve C.
