I hope you can > help, Your book was not specific to booting, formatting, set-up for a brand > new HD. It is worth mentioning that I am the author of a Linux rescue / recovery distribution, not a book, and that although it is a tool that can be used for rescuing Windows-98, it is mostly for repair of Linux systems. Windows-98 is a product of the Microsoft corporation, and in fact, they charge for the product, (which is more than I do for tomsrtbt), so I have to assume they will also provide support for it. You can get my operating system (tomsrtbt-Linux) (which runs from floppy diskette, and doesn't care a whit about your hard drive) for free from: http://www.toms.net/rb/. I will be glad to provide support for tomsrtbt. You can reach microsoft support at http://www.microsoft.com/support/, and they can also be reached by telephone at 1-425-635-7222 for support of 98, and they even say they give you 2 support calls at no charge! Good luck. -Tom
