If you find your way back here, the first thing your should do is establish
a news account at: msnews.microsoft.com. If you are using Outlook Epress 6,
go to Tools, Accounts, News tab. Click on Add and follow directions, just
do not use you actual email address. Any email addresss will do {make up
one}. Using an actual email address is an RSVP for SPAM. When you have the
account established, you can click on the Newsgroup icon and scroll the news
groups and select one for your version of Windows. To speed the search try
entering - microsoft.public.windows - in the search box.
For your defragment problem try booting to Safe mode and defraging there.
If your hard drive is very fragmented or nearly fill, the process can take a
long time, so try waiting. Try Scan disk in Safe Mode also.
As for your recovey floppies. When you try to boot with them, if your
system goes directly to your hard drive, then it is likely that your BIOS is
set to book from the C drive first. If so, you need to go into BIOS Setup
{System Setup} and change your boot order to A, C so you computer tries to
boot from the floppy drive first. To get into setup, you need to press a
key as your system boots. Which key varies with you BIOS manufacturer {F1,
Del are commone}. Usually when your system boots you will see a message
like Press ____ for Setup. Your manual or your computer support should be
able to tell which key.
When you get to the newsgroup for your version of Windows, try to be more
specfic.
