    Dual hard drive prob
    I had the 2GB hard drive from my old machine installed on my 'new' machine when I got it over a year ago. I just did a 'clean' re-install of Win98SE, i.e. I formatted the 20 GB C drive. When I re-installed Win98 it didn't recognize the old D drive and assigned that to my CD-RW and E to my CD. How do I go about getting Win98 to recognize the old drive as D and the CD's as E and F again (as it was before the re-install)?

    Thanks in advance

    Thank you. I got up the nerve to change some things in my BIOS that seemed to fix it but after a re-boot or two it is ******* up again.:mad:
