Sure, go ahead and email me. Ill wait till morning and sobriety (+hangover
) before thinking to much more though.
If you can get to a win98 machine, you can create a boot disk on it with
format a: /s
copy c:\windows\command\ebd\*.* a:\
If you boot with that disk, you wont be able to see your harddrive unless you made it fat32, but if your CD-R has any life left in it, you should be able to read a CD.
If you cant, then Im afraid its dead, probably permanently and even if it is reperable, probly cost more to fix than replace. Maybe a dead laser assembly or something would be a simple fix, but I would just go for a new one.
