Here is the deal. I reinstalled Windows 98 on my computer because it needed it. I FDISK’ed the hard drive and cleaned it off. I did that and everything worked fine when I installed Windows. Well just one day after installing Windows I cannot get back into Windows because whenever it boots up it goes into the registry checker saying that there was a bad system file and that it replaced it and fixed the registry. It does this over and over again. I’ve tried booting into safe mode and that doesn’t work. I’ve ran scandisk and it said there were no problems with the hard drive.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix it? Also I have some important files in My Documents that I need to pull off of the computer. How would I copy them to a disk under MS-DOS? [sub]Yeah yeah I know if they were that important in the first place I should have saved them to a disk.[/sub]
As far as copying the files under MS-DOS, that should be pretty easy.
To get into your My Documents folder, type:
cd c:\mydocu~1
I’m assuming here, that you only have one profile set up in Windows. If, on the other hand, you have it set up so that more than one person can log on to Windows and have all their own settings, own My Documents folder, etc., then you’ll need to type:
cd c:\windows\profiles ikigod\mydocu~1
Once you’re in that directory, type dir to get a listing of all the files you have stored there. Then, to copy them to disk, type:
copy myfile.doc a:
where myfile.doc is the name of the file you’re trying to save.
