EMERGENCY BOOT DISK FREEWARE
Just try this first on the C: drive. Download Delindex.bat onto your bootdisk. Boot
on the bootdisk and get to the A:\> prompt where you should type:
A:\>delindex run , and press Enter
You should see a read-out of the increase in free-space on drive C:
Can you get into Safe Mode by holding down the L/H Ctrl key or by continually tapping
the F8 key whilst the system is loading?
If you can and still need more free-space try uninstalling a few programs, then try
running scandisk and defrag in safe mode. Are you using an ME defrag.exe, or are
you still using the old '98 defrag.exe?
I take it that you tried: A:\>scanreg /restore , but couldn't find a good registry
to restore to?
A good '98 bootdiskette should have generic drivers for your CD rom and there are
probably DOS burning programs which will allow you to burn your data to the CD-RW.
