[pchelpers] Re: Troubles with W98


John:

Thanks for that tip. I had forgot about FDISK /MBR.

The boot disk was from the computer new. I was surprised
it didn't have sys file on it.

I typed in at A: sys C: to copy system files to HD. It has worked
before. Never thought to see if system files were on it.

Thanks John. Will let you know the results.
