    486 with big drive problem

    I believe there is a LBA enabled in this computer but I have not altered these bios settings from when everything was originally in working order. Just the hard drive params. I know this Fujitsu drive is healthy because I set it to master on my pentium class computer and successfully installed...

    Windows 98 Defrag

    The most robust and reliable defragger that I have had the pleasure to use is Vopt Millenium Edition. It works very fast and offers colored bar graphs with disk statistics. I defragged several tough customers that the other defraggers would lockup on or loop endlessly in restarts.

    New SCSI on all IDE machine,win98se wont use..

    Unless you are ghosting your current IDE drive you will have to re-install most applications on the new SCSI. Have you adjusted your CMOS settings for the presence of the SCSI and if so have you slaved and mastered them when using them together in your computer. Two masters may cause your...

    Network neigborhood problem

    It might be a good idea to check the network card in all 3 pc's to make sure they are firmly seated in their slots on the respective motherboards. Are you using a hub. If so you should look at the modular plugs entering the hub for damage or if one is not pushed in far enough. Examine the...

    Windows 98 Defrag

    If you have access to Windows Millenium and you would like to speed up the defrag you can delete the 98 defrag, replace it with millenium defrag and rename it to defrag. It's basically the same thing but a lot faster.

    My other Hard Drive

    This may sound obvious but did you check the jumpers in the back of your hd's to make sure the slave and master are selected accordingly ? I have also seen drives that were not happy sharing a computer with certain other brands.

    get fatal error and locks up trying to run scanner

    If it is practical for you and in light of the fact that you may have accidentally deleted a vital file I would suggest moving your critical data to safe location and performing a format and reinstalling to rule out hardware failure. Before resorting to this extreme measure I would check the...
