Data error and reading devices... need help...pleease
Please can you halp me.
My friends computer is based win98 and starts as normal and boots up but when the 98 logo appears. The problem is it does not go to the desktop and complete the startup.... but....
gives what seems to be a dos prompt saying
" DATA ERROR READING DRIVE C:
ABORT,RETRY,IGNORE,FAIL?_"
yet when you press either A, R, I, F, a new promt appears
saying
"WHILE INITIALIZING DEVICE VKD:
WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR YOU NEED TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER"
Which of course has been done on a number of occassions.
Please help us as we are worried about retriving important files on the hard drive.
