Had a hard drive error, system restarted, lost
Windows\system directory. Want to reinstall Windows 98
without formating hard drive, want to get some data off
the drive with long file name. Every time I attempt the
installation, I get the error that an OS is already
installed and I end up back out of the Installation. I
did attempt to rename the following files:
bootlog.txt, bootlog.prv, detlog.txt, msdos.sys,
setuplox.txt and system.1st. No luck. Any Idea, or does
anyone know what utility I could use to get my files off
with long name. Everyting is in the 8.3 format.
Thanks Frank
