My system had been acting unstable (losing its color, crashing constantly
and without reason) so I thought I'd get a zip drive, copy all my files to
it, and start from ground zero, reformatting the hard drive and
reinstalling Windows and my other programs.
I bought the zip drive used. When I went through the installation
process, the program installed itself into my "D" drive, overriding my CD
Rom. I can only assume the previous owner did not have a CD Rom drive and
the program was installed in his "D" drive.
I've since uninstalled the zip drive and got my CD Rom back, but would
still like to install it, back up my files and reinstall Windows 98.
1. Any suggestions on installing the zip drive?
2. Where can I get good directions for reformatting and reinstalling
Windows? OR
3. Recommend a good computer tech in the Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks
area of California.
I don't like others fooling around with my computer, but I may have made
that inevitable. :-P
