Win98 boot disk can't find 2nd hard drive

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: mikenowo

I am currently running WinXP on my first hard drive which is partitioned into C: and D: (C: for WinXP, D: for applications), but want to also install win98 on my 2nd hard drive to allow for dual boot. Currently the 2nd drive is set up as E: and F: and is 7GB in size, split into two. When I boot up with my Win98 boot disk it can't find the 2nd hard drive. I can access C:, D: which are on my first h/d (the XP one), but not E: or F: (or anything above)which are on the 2nd drive. The drive is formatted as Fat32 so WHY can't DOS see it, when WinXP can? I ran Partition Magic from dos and it saw both drives fine, but when I exit back to dos it still can't see the 2nd drive??
