Windows98se, Soyo6BA+IV, PC100 First let me say I truely appreciate all the work the MSFN members are doing. I look forward to exploring all the tools install w/hot fixes, updates, and patches it will be a challenging learning process for me. My win98se desktop looks great and its working fresh. I never listened to cds on my computer since my first packard bell. Its pretty nice. I love msfn However, my problem is that I need to defrag this 160gb seagate ATA hard drive and when I try to use win98se defrag utility it hicups I haven't sufficient memory and well I am running 640mb ram which maxes out this PIII600, ATA machine. Thing is that with your help this ole win98 box is running fine but its wasting too much space and I want to defrag install a partition manager and try some live CD OSs, VM, Linux with the hope of setting up this box as a file/web server??? I stumbled on your defrag project and it did not install with unofficial goodies... I did all the updating hoping that the w98 defragger would lose its "Not Enough Memory" hiccup but it did not. So I would appreciate any suggestions on how I should defrag. Thanks much.
