8GB, sorry. I had switched to the other computer while working on my main 
& forgot to update the virus software.-Not usually connected to the net 
on this system, got Nimda I guess from RR servers as I never open .exe 
type files in email. Ran Norton on it, thought it was ok maybe it's not.
Anyway I did try to boot with a full copy of Win 98 SE but the system was 
Win 98 and it wouldn't let me, said must have Win 98 upgrade, afterwards 
the problems started. BIOS settings seem ok, I can't figure it out and I 
can't seem to accomplish anything in DOS now either.....Bad drive? Virus? 
Bad drive from virus?AAArgh! Can any local shops do anything if I pull 
the drive and take it to them?
