First I would say as some of the forum members have said that your C Drive may be
full therefore it might be a good idea to back up your flies on floppy disks to lighten
the load of Drive C, and makes your PC loads faster too, frees up the memory.
Second have you installed new software or hardware that may be in conflict to your
PC?
The other problem is :
When you upgrade your computer to Windows 98, you may receive the following error
messages:
Disk write error, unable to write to disk in drive C, data or files may be lost
-or-
An exception 0E has occurred @ 0028:C0035A67 in vxd ifsmgr (01)
After receiving these error messages, your computer stops responding (hangs).

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you have a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 network adapter in
your computer. The EtherFast network adapter can cause a resource conflict with Windows
98 PCI Steering.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, modify the resources of the EtherFast network adapter so that
it no longer conflicts with Windows 98 PCI Steering. To modify the resources of your
EtherFast network adapter, consult the adapter's documentation or contact Linksys
for more information.
To work around this issue, disable the EtherFast network adapter. To do so, use the
following steps:
1. Restart your computer. Press and hold down the CTRL key until you see the Windows
98 Startup menu.
2. Choose Safe Mode from the Startup menu.
3. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
4. Double-click System.
5. Click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click the Network Adapters branch
to expand it.
6. Right-click the EtherFast adapter, and then click Properties.
7. On the General tab, click the Disable In This Hardware Profile check box to select
it.
8. Click OK, and then click Close.
9. Restart your computer.
NOTE: After you disable your network adapter, you cannot use any shared network programs,
files, or printers.
Bye
