Hi,

I know win98 boot stuff is old news, but I have a question that i really can't seem to figure out.

I have a harddrive which is encrypted, and the software to remove it was delivered to me. The only issue is I have to find some way of loading it without using the harddrive. So I thought "i'll just add it as a file on a 98 boot disk, load up the 98 boot, and run the file" (it's MSDOS formatted, and it definitely works, but I need it to run off a CD).

Anyway, when I add it, after it boots I can't find the files. They're on the CD as I checked the image twice after burning it, I just can't find them. I'm guessing the bootdisk has a list of files it tells itself to load and ignores anything else on there.

So, how can I get this file to run? Is it possible to do it with a 98 boot disk? Should I be trying something else?

The files are an executable, and a .bin file.

Thanks!

Okay was the disk finalized? Are the files larger than 2GB in Size? Is the software the right version to work with Win98? Have you tried Safe Mode?
