You're obviously not familiar 'The Barbarian Sublimation' episode of 'The Big Bang Theory':
Sheldon Cooper: Sheldor back on line.
Penny: What's AFK?
Sheldon Cooper: AFK. Away from keyboard.
Penny: Oh, I see.
Sheldon Cooper: What does that stand for?
Penny: Oh, I see?
Sheldon Cooper: Yes, but what does it stand for?

Sorry - I was AFK when you sent your message. The normal way to get a CD out is to find the small hole on the front of the drive and stick something like a paper clip into it. You probably didn't need to know that as it sounds like you're sorted .

I've watched the scene a couple of times and no county is given. All the balladeer says is:
"The most reinforced person in Hazzard was Ms. Mabel, the Mobile Madame."
and
"Ms. Mabel's party girls roamed Hazzard in a fancy RV camper."
After they hear that the cops are on the way Bo says "You were going to move outside of Hazzard County, anyway."
The cops are obviously not from Hazzard becasue they have to stop at the Hazzard county line. Their cars are the same off-white as the Atlanta cars (probably the same cars), but I think they have a Hazzard-style star on the doors. You never get to see the badges, only the 'Sheriff' sign on the trunk.
The scene at the end is in Hazzard.

I've never managed to work out the detail on the bottom of the Roseville badge, so I'm not sure whether you'll find it usable.
I am going to concetrate on finishing the Patrol Cars in Pictures when I have the time. If I find any more logos that are possible for me to do along the way I'll let you know.

Whoever it was that said computers would make our lives easier had obviously never used one before . I hope the XP disk works out for you. It would be great if you were up and running by the weekend.

The Chip Away could be a BIOS virus which you might be able to cure with by flashing the BIOS from a floppy. It might also be a warning that you were trying to alter the MBR if it occurred when you were upgrading to 98 SE. I hope yo find some sort of solution soon.
Sorry about your landlady's dog .

That's good news, and SE is much better than FE. Who'd've thought it would stlll be useful nearly 14 years after it came out . I hope you're up and running soon.

Have you tried booting in safe mode or is it dead?. It will force the computer to use the basic drivers, but you may be able to work from there.
Is the computer without enough room for XP a desktop or laptop - if it's a desktop you could probably get a bigger HDD pretty cheaply if you have a computer exchange near you. You can get used 80Gb drives on Ebay for as little as $10 - that should be big enough for XP.

That's computers for you . When I moved house a few years ago my computer worked fine for a while before the HDD failed. I'd just about managed to reload everything (without an internet connection at that time) when the power supply failed. I replaced that too but it was never right after that.
