WIN98SE Re-install
My daughter's laptop is not working properly, with lots of error messages and a line across the screen etc. It starts by calling for a scandisk but only gets to 29340 sectors then stops. Only a manual shutdown gets free of that, and I can force it to go into Windows only if I bypass the scandisk by selecting Cancel. If I accept scandisk I cannot then access the control buttons to cancel it, but have to manually shut it down.
I feel that reloading WIN98 will solve some of the problems, since I am pretty sure the hardrive is OK.
If I reload Windows using the original disk, will it wipe all of her programs and data? Is there a way to just get Windows to install without affecting what has been loaded already in the other programs?
Help will be appreciated, don't want her mad at me...
