I've been having lots of stability issues with my Win98 machine so I decided I would try wiping the hard drive and re installing windows. My computer is about six years old and I've been told this should be done periodically anyway. I've gone through the forums and got lots of info but am still a little unsure of what steps to take.
Can I format from my win cd or do I need to download something? Do I need to download all my drivers or can I not get them off my cds.? I still have them for my printer, vid card etc. I read in one of the posts that win98 drivers where a pain to find, causing some confusion on my part. Short break there. I just read a post which helped with some questions while raising another. The guy talks about a restoration cd. I'm sure I don't have one though. I have my win98 cd, but I'm sure he's refering to something else. Any ideas about how I can get around this?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
