Salvaging data from semi-dead Win98se HD
Thanks for the input. Yes that's what I tried to do. However, during the installation process Windows insists on trying to repair the disk before it will proceed. And I'm not convinced that I should let it try to. Tom- Rocketer

Salvaging data from semi-dead Win98se HD
My Win98se hard drive crashed. It can boot to the command line but it can't boot to Windows because it complains that GDI.EXE is bad. I tried the known fixes: copy new system fonts to the font folder and one or two others. Nothing works. I wanted to install WinME just to fix things but setup...- Rocketer
