Boot to safe mode from Dos

[BFlurie]

Korgul, do these boxes have a fixed-size swapfile? If they don't (no min value specified), the Win386.swp file will have a zero length at startup & won't effect the defragmenting. When it's needed, Winders will "start" it at the bottom of your files. Course, a fixed-size or "half" fixed-size swapfile is better.

There's an .inf file on the W98CDrom that can be "installed" & will run Defrag on the next startup before startup progs are loaded. Should work on W95:

Select defrag.inf found in the \tools\mtsutil folder on the Windows 98 CD
Right-click defrag.inf, and choose Install from the menu
The next time you start your computer, Windows will defragment your drive(s) automatically.

Another idea, use a DOS based defrag program. I think there is one at http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/48516.html


You could copy this program to the local drive from the network or diskette.
