New HDD, has corrupted Data - AGAIN by [email protected]
Ok, As most of you know, I had a partition go bad on one of my drives and I lost much of the data on it, because I did not have a current backup.

Running Win98se and I am stuck with using Firefox 2.x or 3.x. (with Kernel EX). Although Kernel EX says I can use (I think), up to version 6, that has never worked well. I just stick with ver 3.x. This has driven me nuts for years. I never have understood why Firefox goes into OFFLINE MODE about...
