Hi,I went on a call to service a desktop that is running W/98 and is on a network. I am not familiar with networking and how it is all set up. The client attempted to run a backup and backup to a tape drive that is internal.When she did this scandisk automatically came up and required that she run it. She did and chose the fix it option. When she tries to reboot it freezes at the W logo. I took the system off the network and brought it back to my shop and used fix it to run another scandisk. I also choose to fix it. It told me that some clusters where bad and that it would move the information to a good cluster and mark that one bad. It also corrected and changed the names of files and directories to Dir00001-Dir00028 and File0001-File0113.When scandisk finished it reported 24 invalid directory entries were removed, 63 invalid directory entries were corrected, 55 lost directories were reinstated, 1976 lost clusters were saved as files and 653 bad clusters were patched. Now when I try to reboot it sits at<br>I try to reboot it sits at verifying dmi pool data and won't boot into W. Using a W/98 boot disk it asks for himem.sys, dblbuff.sys, ifshlp.sys and win.com. I copied them to C: as well. I noticed on my system that with 98 these files are in the Windows directory but there is no Windows directory on the machine I am trying to fix, is this because the folder is on the server?. I have copied the files to the root of c and to the Win98 directory which is the only Windows reference to a directory. Idragged this out but I want to give as much info as possible. <br>Thanking you in advance for your input!!<br> Mark<br> Have A Safe Day<br>
