All is well that ends in pizza.
It's been a while since I dealt with this, so I'm asking ya'll.
I have a PC here that a friend wanted me to get some files off of, and make it basically a word-processing machine and occasional dial-up internet box. The CD drie had mysteriously stopped working too, and could I take a look at that, too?
It's a windows 98 machine, with about 10 years on it and a bad CD drive. I ended up taking off the files with a few floppies.
After that I was trying to get a different CD-rom drive working in it and noticed the computer was struggling. It froze and I shut it down and got the old "insert boot device' type message.
Took a Win98 CD to it and found that something malicious must have been at work from before I started working on it, as almost everything on the HDD was erased.
Sigh. Installing an Antivirus was my next step, after getting the CD working.
The question:
I vaguely remember a way to restore the file tree on windows 98, but can't recall the best way to do this.
Any suggestions?

Questions for anyone that has upgraded to iTunes Plus:
Does the replacement affect playlists? Does it affect any info you've entered or changed (genre, etc.)?

I would like the default setting on my Google Calendar to be "no reminder" on new events. Anyone know where I can click to make this happen?

Anyone use the Better Gmail firefox extension? [link]
Is there a performance hit using stuff like this?

I have not used it. I don't use all the things in the extension, so I add extensions as I need them. I have a lot of extensions in firefox, and it seems to work okay.

I meant the gmail stuff specifically. I use Firefox extensions all the time.
