| 658441 | 2008-04-14 18:22:00 | I got a systems disk - like a Windows 95/98 or whatever startup disk. Boot it .. and type "format c:/s" maybe you shoulda mentioned that doing this to an installed sysetm will WIPE it....... |

| 658442 | 2008-04-15 00:33:00 | one would question the need to fix a win95 system..... the error can be caused by many things. best move is to hook the drive up the another PC and see if you have any data. if the drive looks dead then checkout "spin rite" from grc.com if the drive looks good the do s sys c: from a boot floppy. all else fails then hook up to another PC, backup what you can and format the drive. As far as I know the drive is fine, it is detected by the computer, it can be readable in DOS after booting from a floppy. it just won't boot itself I will try the sys c: and see what happens |
