I was trying to install a USB Multi Card Reader on my Toshiba 440 Laptop.
The system runs Windows 98. I had the CD in, the USB cord attached to the new Multi
Card Reader and
got to the small window saying ... "New Temporary drive found, Install'.. or something
like that.
I hit the Enter Key. The system locked up.
It now sometimes runs to the .. Memory check details, sometimes past that to
screen which shows 1,2,3 Safe mode,4, and highlights 5. Command Prompt, and
stated under this that Scanreg must be run. I cannot get anything to run from here.
There was and still is an empty PCMCIA (Compact Flash) card reader card in one of
the PCMCIA slots.
I can't get past these windows to reinstall anything. There are no files on my Laptop
that I need to save, they are always transferred to my PC. Where to next???

Boot up using a Windows 98 bootdisk, type C:\ type
CD Windows\command , then type scanreg /restore ,select a date before you had the
problem,if all else fails here is a link on how to fdisk & Format, but first be sure
you can boot up with CD support, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q255867
