IBecause an older PC blew up, I got a new one and want to change over the
hard drives.
Although autodetect works, then the new PC with the older drive comes up
with Invalid System Disk message.

   Does anybody know of a good program to fix bad sectors
on hard drives? Do those programs really work or should I

on my drive and when I defragmented, I saw one bad unit. I

I have 2 hard drives on my pc. What I need to know is what

A few months back I installed a Maxtor Diamond Max 9
120gig drive in a friend's machine...
Then bought the same model for myself about a month later and
have not yet used it.

I want to update to Win 98 which came with my old laptop.
(When I got my laptop I uninstalled Win 98 and put on Win
95.)I have the disk jacket with the product key on it but
the disk is missing.

I just got an 80 GB Hard drive.  The bios recognizes the
hard drive as 80 GB, but Win98 only recognizes 8 GB. I
formatted it for FAT32, I checked the bios and see that it
is set for auto detect and as I said it sees it as 80 GB.

new 30GB hard-drive in as Drive 1 and the old 3GB as Drive
2.  I ran FDISK after the install, but it only recognizes
the 1st 8GB.  The rest is marked as BAD.  I tried using

program it needs to open with.
