System difficulties at boot
I am really new to this and need some help. I am working on a win98 system
and was doing some spyware cleanup and was running into some difficulties at reboot. The first one is a LBA message occurs when I boot in safe mode, I don't know what to do. FYI I have a C & D drive. The LBA error is on the D drive. The other is a ccw32.exe error. I am also having trouble with Windows Update. I go to install the critical updates and it locks up on me. Can someone please help? |

Blind suggestion: Go to the HD manufacturer's web-site and download/run their diagnostics software. |

Just to advance Blanton's suggestion...
........Start......of quote of Glee.......... Download the diagnostics for your brand hard drive. If you do not know the brand, download Seagate SeaTools. After it is downloaded, double-click it, and it will create a bootable floppy disk with the diagnostic program on it. Then boot your problem computer using the bootable floppy, and choose the Generic long test. It will create a report that you can read from within the program when the tests are complete, and it is also saved as a text file on the floppy disk. Alternately, you can use the evaluation version of Ontrack Data Advisor, which is the same program in its original version. They both are created the same way. Seagate SeaTools: http://download.microshopper.com/har...e/seatoold.exe or http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/B7a.html Error codes: http://www.seagate.com/support/npf/s...ror_index.html Data Advisor: http://www.ontrack.com/freesoftware/#dataadvisor The download link has not been working recently...if it does not connect, use Seagate SeaTools instead. Installation instructions for both: http://www.ontrack.com/dataadvisor/downloadinfo.asp If you DO know the brand, find the diagnostics he Fujitsu http://www.fcpa.fujitsu.com/download...es/#diagnostic IBM and Hitachi http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT Maxtor http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/products/index.htm Seagate http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/index.html Western Digital http://support.wdc.com/download/ or www.westerndigital.com -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm ....glen -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP ............End......of quote......... -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR " wrote in message ... | I am really new to this and need some help.
