Can you boot into Safe Mode and fix the problem from there?

Do a 'scandisk' surface scan in DOS mode. You probably have lost
cluseters. Surface scan will find them, probably succede in relinking
them. Make a note of what was damaged.


Thanks for the suggestion.

Scandisk surface scan keeps finding an "illegal long filename" that it
cannot repair.

When I've attempted to reinstall Win98SE the error that Scandisk finds
prevents Setup from completing.

Thanks for your suggestions
