Elsewhere.

Probably not.

*Required* you say? In that case, I would prefer not to disregard
your 'blind' observations. :-)

Yes, I do not have a recovery CD. I was promised that. But I don't
have any extra CD.

So, there are a good few links that one needs to carefully look over
for this to succeed. Quite a few steps involved there. Darn. Hope I
don't make mistakes.

In what sequence should you be following this. Should I start that
before, after, or sometime during this process with the "WINDOWS 98
SETUP" screen.
