Hallo beste vriend, (a phrase I'd seen in my Spam folder once before, funnily enough)

(The "flashing machine" was very very funny. ) It's not hard to reinstall, but repairing it without reinstalling / wiping everything is much more tedious. It's probably not as simple as just "run SYS again". >> http://freedos.sourceforge.net/software/?prog=dosfsck >> >> http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/chkdsk/dosfsck/ > > Thanks. > But i had a zip file named "ke174-" the "-" means that it is more but I > don't know what.

(Where's Bernd or even Eric when you need 'em??) I'm no linguist, and certainly I don't know any Dutch (besides Van Halen). For a Germanic language that is so close to English, you'd think we'd have less trouble. But try reading the original Beowulf (Old English), and tell me how comprehensible it is. Even Shakespeare is tough. So it's not just you. :-P >> I hope it didn't have any crucial files (that aren't backed up). > > What do you mean? I just meant that it would be easier (nicer) for you to not have to worry about backing up any (potentially corrupted) files from that machine, e.g. before reinstalling (or whatever you want to do with it further, if anything). That's the hard part, determining what to do (acceptable risk). Wiping everything and reinstalling from scratch is easy. >> A reinstall is easy, though. Do you have working CD or floppy drives? > > I have on my laptop a working cd drive (that's how I installed it) but on > the desktop pc I have a floppy drive. But we had it about the laptop :). I was just curious what methods (media) you have available for repair or reinstall. BTW, you mentioned USB, do you think you could boot [read-only] from USB? (Obviously not without help, presumably PLoP Boot Manager: http://www.plop.at/ ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
