I bought a 6.4 IBM drive from Louie. It already had win98 orig edition on it. Great, because I have a unused win98 CD. My 3.2 gig drive still has win 95 on it. So I thought I'd upgrade my TP600 to 98. When I booted up the new drive it asks for the long product code of which I don't have for the new drive. So I moved a User and system data files to the drive. It now loads up to the point where it tries to load explorer. Then I get an error message and cannot proceed. So I tried to load my CDROM and it wont let me beyond scandisk. I get a LBA error. Scandisk can't fix that. What do I do? I've already eaten ther jellybeans. Is there a way around the LBA error or is there a way I can overcome the explorer error?

Help!
