Hi!
I'm running Win98, Deepfreeze (a security program allowing chages to the hard disk, but on restart, everything is as it was when deepfreeze was loaded)..various other educational programs. Using Easy CD Creator to burn. 128MB RAM.
Checked IDE and pwr cbls, attempted to remove device assuming Win98 would pick it back out, but does not recognize the drive. Also, I don't have orig. disks for cdrw.
It's a mess - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Bunch of newbs. Take a boot disk or boot cd and at the command prompt typedelete C:\windows\system32\iosubsys\*.vxd (don't recall the actual file name but its the only with a vxd extension)The vxd is the file Deep freeze uses to initialize. If its not there the programs won't start. Now wasn't that simple... I'd also suggest copying this file to the boot disk and then writing a batch file that deletes this file for you (b/c typing in that command line 100's of times gets very boring)Then write a sepearte batch file that copies this vxd form the disk to the previous location. Now to recap: boot disk, delete file, reboot, install whatever the heck you want on the harddrive, reboot with boot disk, restore the file. -sizro spunkmire

Thanks for the tip :) Sadly, I had another tech back me up - issue was twofold: I had reinstalled the IDE cable backward (mbd end to cdrw drv - doh!) and turned out the cdrw was just bad anyhow :/
Thanks for the help though!Damian

I am taking a pick of what i can get an idea of here, but tdoes deep freeze run a kind of hybernation type of function like XP does?If so you should beable to disable deep freeze somehow and boot normally. Otherwize there should be a file probably in root where the computers settings have been saved. Find out if you can delete this file and boot normally. Becareful cos this could turn out ugly...
