I do not know how to access them. You do not need to isntall W98. Run the
upgade and put the w98 cd in when prompted.

Subject: [CTS] dell laptop reload question

Hi guys, long time no post.

Merry Christmas to all.

I think this is my first post since moving out of my Dad's apartment.

I've been given a dell laptop, it has XP on it, no recovery disk.

The copy of XP crashed, I think I need to reload windows... 
I only have a upgrade copy so I'd have to put win98 on it first...

My question is this- do dell's have a  hidden folder on thier hard drives,
if I format the disk, will I be hatein' life?

Can I redownload what ever is lost from dell?

It's a Dell Latitude, originally came w/ win2000

thanks
