I guess it comes back to the test I recommended in my previous
reply. Let me repeat my instructions, this time in more detail.

1. Get your Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com.
2. Copy ntfsdos.exe (www.sysinternals.com) to it.
3. Boot the machine with this floppy. After turning on the
PC, press F8 repeatedly until you see the DOS boot menu.
4. Select "Safe Mode command prompt only".
5. Type this command: A:\ntfsdos /L:MNOP.
6. Report the result.
7. Type these commands:
dir M:\
dir N:\
(repeat for every drive reported in Step 6)

If any of the responses are different from the above
or if you see error messages, report them!

This test will tell you what readable file systems you have
on any of your drivers. It won't attempt to repair anything.
