Also try a cleaning CD to remove any dirt.<br />

Although painfull, I would advise a clean install of Win98 which will improve the performance of windows after the upgrade. Back up all your data and make sure you have drivers for all hardware components.<br />

If you don't wipe the machine, make sure that you un-install as many programs as you can and check/defrag all drives to make the upgrade go as smoothly as possible.

I currently am running a 1.9 gig HD (master) and a 10 gig HD (slave). &nbsp;With Win95, this caused my 10gig to be partitioned into drive letters D-H with I being my cd-rom. &nbsp;My question is...If I use the upgrade disk and upgrade from Win95 to Win98 will I still have the same drive letters C-I? &nbsp;I want to keep my drives C-I like they are now and I don't want to have to format. &nbsp;Any comments on it?<br />
Also...my cd-rom has suddenly stoppped working. &nbsp;I tried to install a new game and when I put the disk in the cd-rom never spun up. &nbsp;So I went to &quot;My Computer&quot; and double clicked on my cd-rom drive and it told me &quot;not accessable&quot;. &nbsp;Could this be because the cd-rom drive is gone out? &nbsp;Its about 3yrs old. &nbsp;
