P.S. Ed, I'll have a look at the fdformat utility too. I didn't notice your response up there. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've already tried two different CD-ROMs. I'm 99% certain it's not the CD-ROM itself. Something else is wrong - possibly with the motherboard. It's unlikely that one relatively new and one brand new CD-ROM would both be defective and (mis)behave in exactly the same way. So I could probably...

Right, but I'd almost have to have the install files on floppy disks due to the situation with my CD-ROM not working (I could not get its replacement to work either so it may be something with the motherboard, who knows?). I'm not sure if Win98 is available on floppies, is it? Plus I hate to pay...

Thanks for your replies, guys. However, the situation has changed slightly. It seems the drive I had configured as the slave with all the data I need works but unfortunately the O/S was on the master, which is dead as a doornail (whatever that means, but presumably it's especially dead!)...

This is most likely a dumb question but it's been a while since I've done any hardware tinkering and I need some input before I waste a lot of time on this. I inadvertently left my old PC running unattended for a few hours - something I rarely do because I've suspected one or more components...

I'm used to designing reports in MS Access and I've just started working with Crystal Reports with the understanding that they have many similarities. In Access if you set a multi-line field to "Can Grow" it automatically moves all the fields below it on the page down to accommodate...

I recently encountered this error while trying to run a complex report containing several subreports. Each subreport is based on underlying queries built on the fly according to user specified criteria. Is this a machine specific issue having to do with hardware limitations? O/S specific...
