65771 2002-07-26 13:40:00 How can I access the partition with win98 on a partition on my hard drive if my system dies. I have a microsoft sticker on the side of my computer with the serial num on it but i never received any documentation on what to do. I also nave not got a recovery cd because i dont need one apparently. any help would be gratefully appreciated as i dont want to have to take it to the shop when i could do it myself. gem1n1 (1221)

You shouldn't have to take it in anyway, but if it is still under warranty, then it could be best to take it back, especially if the HD is dead.

if its a restore file it could be in a couple of formats. either one file or broken in to many. one for OS, one for drivers, one for apps etc. its a matter of finding the file that runs it. look for an .exe

if you didn't get any disks i would be inclined to make a copy of the restore partition onto disks in case the drive dies as you may not get a copy of windows with a new drive.

also if you can post replies under the orignal post not as a new post. thx :)
