Can you fix my car? I think that I might be a muffler or something...

Just think, this car is half way around the word and there is no way you can see it. The owner does not describe any symptoms or specific problems with it, he just asks how to fix it.

Well, as you can probably tell, I made this up to ask for more info on the subject, due the the general lack of anything to do... Need more info man!

Google boot disk and download a win98 boot disk profile for starters. Floow JKAs advice on the hard drive, but I get the feeling it's a goner.
