re: vmm32.vxd Need help with hard drive swap Sunday, May 29, 2005 at 3:19 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Don (246 messages posted) Morning Bill, Your current hard drive has drive letter C:\. You could add a second hard drive, and that would take drive letter D:\ (if the existing drive has not been partitioned). You would boot to a command prompt and format the new hard drive. Now you could copy your data/song files from C: to D:,then delete them from C: Once you create some free space on C:, you may be able to repair your win 98 os.
