Default PC can not find the hard drive

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.

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
