I am running a 'no name' clone with Win 98, 196 meg of ram, AMD K2 500 mz
processor.

After the last catastrophic hard drive failure, I reinstalled Win 98 on a
small hard drive (3 gb) which is the boot drive.  The old hard drive, which
had 5 partitions - C through G - remained in place.  The data on drives D
through G is readable by the newly installed boot drive.  That is not a
problem.

What is happening is that the machine crashes many times a day.  Eve3n when
not being used, i.e., overnight, the computer often hangs.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thank you.
