Comments:
<0> so thats likely totally useless
<1> I wish I could comepletely delete IS. and then reinstall
<2> format, clean install Win98.
<2> highly recommended a couple times a year
<0> oh yeah this is the guy running win98. dude. youre screwed. sorry to say it. but man, that OS is really a piece of ****.
<1> I can't , I have client data on this machine
<2> so back it up.
<3> hey i'm a 98 guy
<2> christ, that computer is HOW old? time for a new one.
<0> buy a new hard drive, install fresh on the new drive, and slave the old drive.
<3> running 2 years off a dirty reinstall
<0> duh
<1> Can't my burner is elsewhere
<3> record uptime 39 days
<2> Geoirge; you're just full of limitations and excuses, aren't you?
<4> HE'S ALSO FULL OF TEH SUX
<3> gmail ;P
<0> you said this machine has "client data", so based on that statement, we can ***ume youre doing this job for pay. So you simply itemize the new hard drive's cost in your invoice. Buy a new ****ing hard drive, install fresh on that, slave the old one to retrieve/access your data.
<1> No
<5> erase/rename windows,program files dirs & reinstall?
<2> why not?
<1> No I meant no to your previouse question
<6> Do what z0g said. Have a nice day.
<0> Are you worried that your client wont have their familiar windows theme with cute animated mouse cursor? Boo hoo.
<1> Yeah but in the mean time I would like to fix the problem z0..
<6> That's how you fix the problem.
<2> the 'fix' for your problem is a total scrape, and new OS. while you're at it, the hardware probably ****s too.
<2> >NEXT?<
<2> how many hours have you wasted on this so far? whats your time worth?
<0> precisely. what is your time worth?
<7> man i'm ****ing pissed. i got some evil malware and i'm having a hell of a time getting it to go away. i can't even FIND the ****ing ****ware.
<2> z0g^^; apparently, nothing.
<0> apparently.
<1> Well if I don't get the review done , nothing
<8> mickelson takes another master
<8> 2nd green jacket for him
<0> In the time you've wasted here so far, you could have finished the job had you just started from a fresh install.
<2> review: "This package ****s, tis installer crashes 18 ways and never works right. Avoid at all costs".
<2> done.
<3> actually, it'd easy to reinstall Windows without reformatting on 9x
<1> hrmm.. got an Idea
<3> so the client data is not in jeopardy
<1> Would it be possible to extract the cab files using A different methode ?
<2> call the softwar evendor.
<2> NO.
<2> fawk.
<3> absoolutely
<2> yes, you could take your broken heap of a chevy apart, and carry each part on your back, repeat until it gets home.
<0> that depends. winrar can unpack certain types of cabs.
<2> however, its much easier to take a cab.
<2> and call a towtruck to take it to the dump.
<2> if you were reviewing cars, and they gave you a car that didn't work, would you actually try and fix it?
<2> or would you call them back and say 'take this heap away!' ?
<0> In fact, whats so ironic is that whatever theyre paying you to fix their computer, it may be cheaper for them to just phone Dell. That would likely be a win-win situation there. Maybe even for you, at least then you can invoice them for useful services in transferring data from the old to the new PC.
<0> and they'll be finished with win98
<9> ok
<9> think its ok to install software while a drive is formatting?
<2> wait. Geoirge has client data on a computer he's using for product review evaluations?
<2> how ****ed is THAT ?
<9> obviously not on the drive that is formatting
<0> pick up the bottom of the line $400 Dell PC which is perfectly capable of running Microsoft's latest OS versus cobbling up an ancient Win98 machine.
<3> "This product ruined the other half of my business. Not recommended."
<2> $299 http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=dim11min&s=bsd
<0> holy ****, theyre that cheap now?
<0> absolutely incredible.
<1> There is old client data on this machine yes
<2> celeron, xp home, 256MB, 80GB 7200 disk, CDRW/DVDROM, yup.
<1> Nothing to sensitive , But I would still like to keep everything.
<2> includes a 17" monitor
<2> [CRT]
<0> thats amazing. i dont know how they do it.
<10> YAY I ****ING FIXED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<10> YAY
<0> on a sidenote, i find it interesting you cannot order that system with a 1.44 floppy.
<10> YAY
<2> Geoirge; $300 for a 2.53Ghz Celeron D
<4> piffle
<2> with LCD and everything. network your old heap, copy your data, then format the old heap to use as a scratch test system
<4> $800 for a laptop

<0> my mom got a laptop from dell for $500. celeron, cdrw/dvdrom combo, 512mb ram, 14" screen, 30gb hard drive. just perfect for her needs. and overall a very usable system, not a piece of ****.
