Default disk i/o error

dear good folks
as my printer and CD-RW drive are working erratically in
Windows XP Professional, i converted the c: partition of
my 20 GB Seagate (ST320432A) to FAT 32.
then i booted the machine using the Windows 98 startup
disk and started the computer with CD-ROM support and
proceeded to install from the installation CD. it
performed a scandisk of all partitions and said there are
problems with d: and f: drives and asked to fix it and i
clicked fix. (unfortunately i skipped the create undo disk
option).
now after the files are copied and the machine wants to
restarts for the first time it gives
Disk I/O error
Relace disk and press any key.
but i am able to see all the files on this drive if i
connect it as a slave to another working Windows 98
machine.
can anyone please help?
