Hi-
I'm hoping someone can help me. One of the computers at my house is an older Dell XPS 550 computer that I use and which is still running windows 98se. Last week, I bought an external hard drive to back up my computer and to be able to move information to a new computer when I get one and of course while I was gone over the Thanksgiving holiday, my computer crashed. The error message says "windows file missing... you must reinstall Windows". I can't even get it to work in safe mode. I have some important legal information in there that I need to get out. Can anyone tell me if I can recover my needed information? Is there some way I can reload Windows 98 that won't wipe everything out? Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
