Oh gee! You means this stamp on the front of the Win98 book that I'm holding!! (Great, more rerun usage!) What, me panic?

MUCH MUCH thanks for sticking out this marathon session!
I guess I can handle going through the other things - performance upgrade, software support, and software enhancement CD's.

Oh, should I verify I have four drive/partitions like I think? I'm still in registration Hades right now.

Yes, let's get everything checked and cleaned up and you should be on your merry way. You've sure earned your Geek wings on this one. Good Job!!!!

I must admit...you've had me rolling a few times

My computer shows A floppy, C, Dsk1_vol2 (D:), E, F, and G as CD.

A right click to Explore -
C - has lots of folders
Dsk1_vol2 (D:) - has what appears to be an empty Recycled
E - E:\ is not accessible. A device attached to the system is not functioning.
F - same as above
G is usable to read CD's
- - - - thoughts?

Right click "My Computer" and choose "Properties"...then choose "Device Manager". Click the + next to Disk Drives and tell me what it says.

Two listings -
Generic IDS Disk Type01
Generic NEC floppy disk

[wannabe1]

Ok...double click "My Computer" and choose "Explore" Does it show all four hard drives?

[bamakodaker]

Don't know if you need it,
Hard disk controlers -
primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)
VIA Bus Master PCI IDE controller

[bamakodaker]

All four drives show - including that weird looking Dsk1_vol2 (D:)

[bamakodaker]

Do go up to post 154 about what Explore showed

I'm switching off myself. Good to see you got it. Update your Internet Explorer first, the old version won't be able to handle MS's new scripting.

[wannabe1]

OH yeah...sorry, been there-done that. Right click on the D drive and choose "Format" and then click "Ok" or "Next" whichever it is on your version.

[bamakodaker]

Tyger - thanks for your help! I wouldn't have gotten it if it weren't for your GREAT assistance!! Geeks is AWESOME! (Doesn't sound like correct English but I'm sticking to it!)

Should I leave it with their weird name or can I change it - that DSK1_vol2

??

I'm going to format others and come back for answer about D

[bamakodaker]

Wait, I went to next and it doesn't show a name in the Label box, kind of same question as about D. Change the long name to just D? Put E in the label for E drive, then F on F?
