win98

Recommended Posts

i'm trying to resurrect an older (400mhz, celeron, 128mb ram) win98 SE machine. it has 2 hard drives in there set on primary master and primary slave. the bios recognizes it and it seems to be in the device manager.(seems - b/c there is a listing for a secondary ide controller) any ways i was wondering why when i open "my computer" the second drive is not recognized. is there any thing i need to do to get win98 to see the other drive(the one hooked up as prim. slave)

Has the second disk been partitioned and formatted. If its blank, then Windows will not recognise it. Run FDISK, select the second HD and create a new primary partition on it, then format it.
