Suggestions for starting afresh?
The last time I formatted my hard drive it turned into a 48 hour nightmare. So when problems arose I tried reinstalling Windows over the top. I finished up with an abortion of a system where I have a Windows.000 directory,, as well as what is left over from the previous installation. A total ballsup.
I have decided the best way around this is to buy a new hard drive, install Windows (98) which I'm quite happy with, and make my old C drive a directory off the new drive, moving things as I'm happy there will be no problems.
As a neophyte, I welcome people's suggestions about the tricks to look for and the traps to avoid. There is no hurry, so I will be copying everything I currently hold to CD, but I wonder how many of those things will go looking for a Windows.000 folder instead of just slotting into my nice new hard drive.
As I say, I'm a novice here, so be gentle, but all suggestions gratefully received.
