Hi Cesar, Sorry about your hard drive, but that might be the cause of your freezing. If Windows was trying to read a file from a damaged sector, it might very well try for a very long time <g>. I would try the new drive before I bought a motherboard. Reg Clean, Yes you can run it with Win98, I have since the early beta days. I don't know if it is still available from Microsoft though, haven't seen it there in a while. As I remember, they pulled it when they released Win98 and brought out a new version, so the first Win95 version might be iffy. I have had good luck with the Mitsumi drives, they read anything that I can burn. Best of luck, Rick [log in to unmask] Cesar Mendoza wrote: > ...
