does anyone know where to get system.ini for windows 98 ?

dhkimboa · April 26th, 2002

a friend of mine erase that without knowing and now his windows 98 can't even start.

Looks like he'll just have to reformat and reinstall. And learn not to touch system files next time.

then, it's impossible to just copy and paste the file into windows directory ?

Recca · April 26th, 2002

yep its impossible. That file contained all the data of his pc. Copying another would not help as his data and the copied is not the same

The only solution is to reinstall win98 and start all over

oh ic
thanks everyone for helping
poor him hehhe
he's gonna have to format and install again

He doesn't necessarily have to format. He can just re-install Windows on top of his existing one. It'll fix the error while still maintaining his system settings.

Do you think its to late for Dhkim to tell his friend that

dhkimboa · April 27th, 2002

Tell him nxt time to backup a copy of win.ini and system.ini so if again accidentaly do it its safe.
