I don't know if I made the deadline, but do you have the tools to reinstall Windows?
A Startup disk?
The original Win98 CD with 25 digit code to load it?
Any important data files backed up?
Any way to back them up if you don't reply yes to above?
Any experience with installing an operating system?
THe make.model of your computer as well as hard drive size, RAM, audio card, and video card?
A desire to learn?
If all of these are yes, we are ready to go.
