I have an impending disk failure looming, so I copied
(using drive image by power quest)the c: drive (fat32) to
a same sized d: drive (using a 98 boot disk). I removed
the original c: and moved the other drive as the only
drive. When system starts, after logging in as
administrator, I get a message that the pagefile.sys is
not large enough (300 + meg). It tells me how to increase
it within the system settings, click OK to continue. I
click OK, and it does something (disk activity) then gives
me the login again and the exact same message in a loop
like this. I never get my desktop and am unable to change
any settings. What's going on here, and how do I fix it?

Can regedit be ran from a DOS command line? I cannot get
my desktop.
