I think that I should warn you : when windows (98, XP or anyone else) 
doesn't start, I use the Knoppix distribution (runable on a CD) on the 
"sick" PC in order to connect it to another (like a laptop) ; the online 
requirements are :
- CD ROM drive, and a BIOS able to boot on it
- a recognized ethernet card
- a LAN cable
And I'm able to cut/copy/delete/edit all the files I want.
BUT the hard disk must be working with a FAT32 to be automatically 
configured.

That's why I don't convert my FAT to NTFS.

Bye
