Sounds like a non-system disk may have been left in the floppy drive.

You're trying to install XP, right? If your drive is larger than 32MB, NTFS will be your only option.

You know something, your right. Windows 98 can't read an NTFS partition on it's own local hard drive. This doesn?t apply to networked disk access. I probably shouldn't be responding to questions this late. I think I'll have another beer.

If you use NTFS on the XP machine you may have a problem seeing that machine from the 98 boxes. Use FAT32 and there should be no problem.

How large is the hard drive? Install several operating systems and see which one performs better for you over time.

Did you run antivirus software on the computer? Viruses can do weird things in an OS. One way to try to access the data is by logging into the built in administrator account. Do this by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome screen. This will bring up the Win2000 style logon screen. Type...

When you use ICS Windows automatically uses the 192.168.0.1 address on the LAN NIC. Change the router's internal IP to resolve the conflict.

You may need to update your ASPI layer.

Do you have any unallocated space on the drive? Or, is it a 30GB drive fully partitioned (3GB & 27GB)?

Yes, I have them and they can't be deleted.

OK, great. Now, making folders private is only available for folders included in your user profile, like My Documents, Desktop, Start Menu, Cookies, Favorites and any other folder that appears under your user profile. What you could do is move the folder under your user profile then you can...

I can't explain it any better than this: Choosing Between FAT and NTFS and this: NTFS compared to FAT and FAT32

Is your drive formatted as NTFS? You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted as NTFS.
