    Pleazzz can someone out there help

    I have a Samsung GT8000 Series notebook.

    My orginal OS was ME I decided to upgrade to XP Professional.

    The result was that it could not load the XP as there was missing a hul.dll file.

    It gave me the option to unistall the XP, I went ahead and did this however it did not unistall and refuses me access to my ME.

    I subsequently installed win98 into a seperate folder and on boot up it gives me the option to either go into XP OS or Win98 or choosing the Win98 my display settings are set at 16 color and my touchpad doesn't work so I am unable to access my data files in order for me to try and back up before its lost completely.

    You have a real mess. You probably don't have the correct display driver installed in the Win98 system. Do you know what video you have?

    After you recover whatever you can, boot from the CD and use the XP setup to format and install XP cleanly. You will be forever trying to clean up that mess otherwise.

    So, let's get the video working in 98 so you can get your stuff out safe. :)
