I was installing a new NIC. Put it in, blah blah, turned on my computer, and it froze at the win 98 screen. Restarted and went to the safe mode menu.
I tried to start it up thru normal again, and it just restarted on me. Again and again trying to boot up normally it just restarts on me, or freezes.
So i start it up in safe mode, dont know really what to do. I defraged the comp, scan disk for errors, nothing.
I uninstalled the NIC. No help. I get a win xp cd and hope to just install win xp and maybe it will work. Well, my computer is not fidning my cd-rom drive. When in safe mode, i see them on the Hardware list??
So basically I cannot do anything except get into safe mode. I do not know what to do from here.
From what I have typed, is there any suggestions any of you may have? Im desperate, i dont want to take it in and get it serviced. But if it comes to that????
I thought about reformatting and installing everything new, but that would suck cuz i have lots of files i need to back up and my cd-r drive isnt being found!!!!!
