I was going to type a rather long message about the dos and don'ts of reinstalling Windows 98 Second Edition, but then I recalled that PCWORLD.COm posted an article about just that, so here is a link that is well worth reading.

How to reinstall Windows without losing data (www.pcworld.com)

If you do need further help feel free to ask

Regards,

Timothy
