I works, i got the OS to run again.
I took the computer to some of my friends and they finally managed to fix it , took a little over 3 hours to actually do it. Alot was done. We did an over install on the OS, which is to install another 98 se OS on my computer then delete the old version. this wasn't what took forever though. to over install we needed it to read a floppy or CD, The floppys we were using didn't work and nor would the CD's. So we opened it up and tried to get the CDs to read but i wouldn't. So about a hour of this and we finally got it right (it was the master read as slave and slave read as master, and the floppy drive said it was up where the slave should be. They all fixed this and we got the CDs running. So we installed another 98se and then deleted the old one. But i seems that norton, roxio CD creator, and microsoft publisher are some programs not working. Next I plan to burn what i want to save on CD, but i gota reinstall roxio first. Then we will format the drive and install XP on it.
Thanks for your help.And wish me luck
