Recently my Compaq Armada 1700's laptop's hard drive crashed. The drive is
nearly dead and I was receiving smart drive failed errors upon boot. I was
able to backup most of the content on the drive to my Windows XP PC, and the
rest will need to be re-installed from my CD's. The Compaq is running
Windows 98SE. So I used the Windows XP backup app and was able to restore
what I could to the used 10GB hard drive that I bought today at a used
computer warehouse. However after the restore the laptop could not boot
Windows98. I then had to reinstall 98 on th laptop, and have been spending a
couple of hours trying to clear out all the bugs, because I keep on getting
crashes as soon as Windows boots. msconfig.exe has been a great help in
trying to solve these problems.
Did I do something and if I did, what? I thought I could trust the Windows
XP backup application. Or should I have purchased Retrospect for Windows? I
have been using this on my Macs since 1999, first on OS 8.1, and know on
OSX.
Here is one log from the XP Backup.
Thanks for the help guys.
