Hi,
I have a seriously ill puter that won't even boot into safe mode. It runs Win ME. I have NO user backup. I have gotten it to where I can do a Windows 98 Setup install from the CD drive of a booting situation.
Will this delete my user files?
Any help will be appreciated.....THX!!

Dont hit that next button yet !! There is a way to reinstall 98 over the top of itself, by running setup with w98 running, and installing it into the same directory.
