Hi there, I'm looking for help please. Basically, I have a Toshiba 2540DCT Laptop, which has stopped working. It was running under Windows 98. I can boot into DOS via a floppy but not windows (I can't even launch windows from DOS or re-instal it). I have rescued most of my documents but some still exist and are too big to pkzip.
I have tried scandisk but this cannot fix the problem and I am not able to re-instal Windows 98 or run any Windows based repair programs. The most meaningful error message that is produced is that there are some cross-linked files - however, I can't get at them to either remove or repair them. I therefore need a mechanism to get the remaining files off the laptop. I have 2 spare laptops (with plenty of diskspace), 1 running Win95, the other Win2000. However, the main problem is that my Win98 PC will only go as far as DOS and won't repair.
I have heard of laplink, but can I get this for DOS only? If not, are there any other utilities available?
This is the first time on this forum for me, so any help via e-mail would also be of grateful assistance.
Many thanks
John Cooney
