Here's my problem. I have a 27.9 Gig HD. Had it partitioned into 4-10-13.9 Gigs. When I defrag the drives/partitions, I run into a problem--W98's defrag utility has coughed when defraggin the primary, and on the second partition AFTER the primary, and when it does--it restarts the computer and every partition except the primary is gone.

This has happened 3 (THREE) times, and I am so mad I could spit nails right about now. Anyone know what's going on, and how to correct it?

BTW, for info, I run W98, and I have a version of Norton Ghost that came with my Epox Mobo, but I haven't mastered Ghost, so I did not have the partitions in question backed up.

Also, is there ANY way to recover the data on the partitions W98 "lost"? I had games, video, and images on them, as well as game patches. I would like to be able to recover the data, but most of all, I want to find out why this is happening and how to keep it from ever happening again.
Thanks.
