[TRLog] Mark-V Working 100%

[Thomas M. Schaefer]

Actually, even without access to Windows 98 you can go to
http://www.bootdisk.com/ to find a boot disk. if you run 2000/XP, etc. this
works as long as your drive is not NTFS. If you left it as FAT, then it will
work. DOS cannot read/write an NTFS disk without a 3rd party utility.
