PC can not find the hard drive
Hi All
I wanted to use the HD from my old Windows 98 PC for storage on my Windows XP Home PC. so I formated the drive. Having purchased a bigger storage HD for my XP PC I decided to refit the old drive back into my Windows 98 PC. Problem is the computer can not find the HD so I find it impossible to reload Windows 98. Would the problem be in the BIOS set up if so where. Any ideas please B J G |

Go to http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and create a Windows 98 boot
floppy. Use it to start the computer in question, use fdisk to delete any existing partitions, run fdisk again, accept "Large disk support", create a primary DOS partition and format it. Then run "setup.exe" from the Win98 directory on the Windows 98 CD. Ben "MRRIGGA" wrote in message ...
