You flooded the house yet?

andycarr & biffer: I have tried all your suggestions now. Direct CD and CD-R seems to make the most progress as a combination - but I think the problem is something I cannot solve. Typically, the techie I use is on a course until tomorrow, and, as the rest of the system works fine, I will pass on this problem and ask HIM to back up the files I've listed before he does anything dramatic to switch W98 to XP. His instructions now include updating Adaptec from v 3.4 to Adaptec v5 so it works with XP! (Thanks for that tip!) I assume it is safer to unistall W98 and installing a clean version of XP rather than going for the upgrade?

I'm surrounded by unused CD-RW and CD-R discs. Boot sale, anyone?

Vasey,

Sorry to hear you've run into a brick wall. Very peculiar, as it's normally relatively easy.

I can't offer any advice on upgrading to XP as I'm still with Windows ME.

biffer: judging from what I saw on the Direct CD Wizard as it processed through the pages, it recognises W95 and WNT and I never have been able to burn a CD - so maybe W98SE and v3.5c never were compatible! I'll tell you what my techie's version is though...

socks: have you spoken to the lovely Nick at Dys yet?

Vasey,

Its probably no use to you but while your finishing that cup of tea you may as well read on ...

I dont bother with CD writers and all of that sort of stuff for what you are doing

Just get another hard disk ( I good while ago I got a 20GB for about 50 quid so they are sure to be cheaper now. )

Turn off your PC

Stick it on the IDE chain

Introduce it to the system (usually best if its a basic FAT format) & give it a drive letter that wont be used by anything else on either system ( maybe 'P' ? )

Then copy whatever you want onto it

Move it to what ever system you want the files to be on and introduce it as 'P'

Sorry that I use the word 'introduce' in the above. I'm into Win NT & 3.1 so not really sure of the exact commands needed for XP & 98


OD

OD: I have read your post now 3 times. But understood very little of it. 'Turn off your PC. Stick it on the IDE chain'????? Huh? Even I know nothing at all can be achieved if the damn thing is switched off! Please remember, I can only understand Computers for Prawns. But you did make me chuckle.

Er, 'It' was meant to the the new hard disk drive

( rather than connecting it with the PC powered up - probably not a good idea 8-) )

I guess all that I am suggesting is that you fit your PC with a second harddrive ?

I'm posting this from around the back of the Tea Room on a park bench ( ah, the joys of Wi-Fi ) and as I'm half way through my second six pack of cider it may be utter tosh.

My advice : stay inside - at least its warm

jeffmac,

LOL!

I've yet to start bleeding the Rads!

:-)

Jeff

OD:Women giving you hassle today? You try and help them and what do you get? Ingratitude and mystification! But, thanks to your clarification, the fog is slowly clearing. I think. I honestly don't need another hard drive. Still 16.78 GB free space on this one, thanks! I think the problem must be some sort of irreconcilable conflict. Computer is female and Adaptec is half alien! Well, it's alien to MY computer anyway.

Vasey

That salesman had no right to sell a PC to a woman. If there are three certanties in life its

Women do not know anything about computers
Woman have no sense of direction
You will die (edit: but not for a very long time)

Sorry, meant to say, thanks for adding the edit! To prove your point, I hit the update button before I typed anything. Oh, well.

Silence speaks volumes

Hi all, another day another dollar (so to speak).

vasey
No I've not yet spoken to (the lovely) Nick. I don't like to trouble people more than is necessary and at present I have nothing to ask.

I have given a little thought to your problem and wonder if it's because you may have 'exported' the data rather than copied it. If so, it may be that you have to import it or restore it. Some of these programmes can be a bit funny that way.

Is the teapot full, what about a cuppa for a starving chap?

Just read thru the Traders Thread, hope the squelching was not too painful.
