You still haven't answered all of my questions. For the sake of =
simplicity, we'll call them Old C and New C.

1. Are these "drives" two partitions on the same physical hard drive? Or =
are they actually two different drives? If they are two different =
drives, how are they arranged? I assume one is Primary Master. Which =
one? The other is what, Secondary Master or Primary Slave?

2. Are you attempting to install Windows over the top of a previous =
installation on Old C? Or did you reformat it?

3. Why are you reinstalling? What error(s) led you to decide to =
reinstall?

I'm having difficulty deciphering your message. Windows 98, =
whichever one you have booted to, is *always* on C:\ drive. In order for =
your machine to boot to that drive, it must be the Active drive. If you =
have another Win98 system installed to what is now your D:\ drive, and =
want that to be the boot drive, you have to use a Windows Startup floppy =
boot, run FDISK, and make that partition Active. Then when you boot to =
that Windows, it will be the new C:\ drive.

Why did you think you had to reinstall Windows? What else is on the =
current C:\ drive besides the new Windows installation? If there's =
nothing else, you can reformat that drive. If there was other stuff, and =
you can fix things to boot to the old system, you can then delete the =
Windows folder and the Program Files folder (provided you didn't already =
have a Program Files folder there.)
=20
Do you actually have two different hard drives, or only two =
partitions on one drive?
