I have an older Pentium Computer running Windows 98. It was working just
fine until there was a power outage last night and now it will not reboot.
I tried using the Windows Starts here disk and it will not even allow that
to run. I just get a black screen verifying some hardware and showing the
2 CD Rom drives are present as well as the Floppy drive, and saying HDD
error on Prime Master and Prime Slave Drives. Is there anything I can do
for this problem?



This is a Windows XP newsgroup. Have you considered posting
in a Windows 98 newsgroup?
