Hi folks,
Some time ago I bought a Dell Optiplex G1 used through school. It
worked well for a while, but has recently been slowing-down and hanging
if left on for too long. Reboots will also sometimes hang shortly
after the "windows 98" screen.
I want to wipe the Hard Drive and restore it to factory default setup,
and here's my problem:
When I bought the computer, it came with a CD-Rom labeled Windows98.
It did NOT come with any other CD-Roms (for drivers, etc.). Is there
any way too make sure the CD-Rom I have has everything I need to
restore the Hard-Drive?
If not, how do I back-up the drivers, etc... that I will need? Should
I contact Dell?
Thank you all in advance for your replies.
