Managed to find an HP writer CD-ROM DOS driver via one of the links you guys gave
me. Now I can use one of my CD-ROM drives...this is a great step....
Put in my Windows 98 SE upgrade disk in. Of course, it is now asking me to do a scandisk
on all drives. C: is now fine (although the directories are all renamed DIR000..)
Now it is finding problems on the D: drive where all my good data is. Fortunately
it seems to have identified just one corrupted directory I don't need. So I have
to hit enter 200 times in Scandisk to "fix" these files and directories. Then I might
be able to re-install Windows, although I am hearing it won't work.#@$(#)#!!????
I have not tried yet to copy files from my D: drive to the CD-ROM drive...will the
DOS Copy command write files to a CD? Soon, the next episode of my adventures in
GATESLAND!
Thanks again for all the help.
