:-))) Thank you so very much for the help. I finally
solved the problem, I did not think when I was about
to reinstall win98. I was naive enough to stick in a
cold hard drive in a hot computer, thats why the
installation f*cked up on me. I should know better
than that, as I KNOW that cold hardware don't mix with
hot hardware.
Any way to explain why I first thought that it was to
hot was only that the disks as they was running where
hot. After I posted the last mail my brain started to
function as I realized my mistake.
Once again thank you so much for bothering to help me
:-))) it's muchly appreciated.
