Cheer up, Donald!
I have no full account of the incident, but judging from Your words
there may be some quick hope & comfort:
The "crash" is not necessarily caused by a virus.
You say Pentium II 350 MHz processor. I think it must have taken all
of its capacity to handle a CDRW burning process. Perhaps the system
crashed due to a "buffer underrun" abortion?
Do NOT throw away the CDRW disc!!!
A disc on which the burning (= writing) process has failed, will not
be read by Win98, because this program presupposes "too much".
However, the disc is not broken; Data written up to the point of
premature abruption is still intact, and so is old data that was not
yet overwritten.
The CD should still be readable by a RESTORATION program, but it may
then be difficult to separate restored old data from new.
I would really like to help with machinery, but the Atlantic
is ...wide. Hopefully, someone nearer to You can help. Then damage
control begins. Compared to all months with update, 1 without is
nothing.
