Name: dwsr1
Last week I fdisk and formated this hard drive for a friend. Reinstalled win 98se and everything went well. Yesterday they called and said they had run a scan disk check then decided to defrag. About 1/4 it frozze. They rebooted windows did load but would do nothing else start/all programs and it was empty. Any ideals what happened thank you all.
No, but tap F8 whilst booting and see if you can get the startup menu. If so, then select one of the Command Prompt options and type:
scanreg /restore (then hit Return key).
Select a registry dated just before this happened.

Ok - just because it's been driving me mad:
# A conception of something in its absolute perfection.
# One that is regarded as a standard or model of perfection or excellence.
# An ultimate object of endeavor; a goal.
# An honorable or worthy principle or aim# Something, such as a thought or conception, that potentially or actually exists in the mind as a product of mental activity.
# An opinion, conviction, or principle: has some strange political ideas.
# A plan, scheme, or method.
# The gist of a specific situation; significance: The idea is to finish the project under budget.
# A notion; a fancy.
Y'see? Not really the same thing at all. Probably why they're spelled differently too.We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true

jboy your Response Number 2-
Now that was an ideal idea.
frozze got me.
Later in statement a friend changed to they.
Probably the use of a singular pronoun would have worked better.
I'm 54 years old and finally brushing up on my English.
Keep us straight with your learned abilities.

Scanreg /restore cures many ills
On matters of diction - hey, I'm a highschool dropout (technically) - big deal ; )
Language is a marvellous thing - nobody's perfect (but it doesn't hurt to at least try)

my ideal of what happened: the registry got corrupted, because it's such a free-for-all mess, and the user fixed this, had a revelatory experience, got a new O.S. started telling <their> friends, everyone also got new O.S.'s.
