Paging File Problem

[The Baba]

I was helping a friend network a Win200 machine and a Win98 machine...Now I
get a message at startup that says that the Win200 machine has no paging
file, or it is too small...The C drive on the Win200 machine is also showing
up as having 0 megabytes, and I can't access it at all...It boots fine, but
I can't access any thing on it, as it's saying it isn't accessible...

I have no idea what happened, because all I did was add NetBEUI to both
machines, and share the C drives...I also have no idea why the paging file
would get screwed up...It says to right click on My Computer > Advanced and
set the paging file, but I have no idea what to do...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Tom

You may have been hit by a virus that's filled up your
hard disk. I recommend you insall the problem disk
as a slave disk in some other Win2000 PC, scan it
for viruses, then find out what's eating up your disk
space and clean it out.

But it says Used Space 0, Free Space 0, Capacity 0... My bud only uses it at
work, and no one else uses it...He hasn't installed anything on it, and it
isn't connected to the 'net...It was working just fine until I tried to
network the 2 together...How could it have gotten a virus?
