Greetings,

My computer, with Windows 98, has developed a bug.  Whenever I try to read a
CD disk, I get a 'blue screen' error and have to reboot the computer to
start over.  According to windows, the driver is installed and operating OK.
Of course this causes a real problem, I can't back up my data files (about 2
months worth - I know, Bad Boy!) so I can reload Windows.  This all started
after receiving a Trojan virus from a web site which Norton quarantined.  I
have since deleted the temp files and have not found any more viruses.

Is there a solution to this problem without reinstalling Windows?  Will I
lose my data which is in a different partition (D drive) if I reinstall
windows?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
