Ummmm...... I guess I assumed you were installing XP. Was it 98 you wanted advice on? If the CD-ROM is the only problem for now--unplug it...
There is probably no such thing as an "unremovable" virus. Any virus can be removed. Whether it is designated as "removable" has more to do with...
(Note that I have no direct experience with this machine.) In theory, upgrading from Home to Pro should be the least problematic of the...

It sounds like a punctuation issue. Check the properties of the shortcuts in Start>Programs>Startup to be sure that they have opening and closing...

Try right-clicking the drive in My Computer, Properties, Autoplay tab, and selecting not to be prompted each time. Then choose an action for each...
For what it's worth---- I've used Diskeeper for several months and used its boot-defrag option around 15 times. It has always skipped the MFT...
NTFS shows up, of course, as non-DOS with fdisk. But you thought it was FAT, so something must have happened to it along the way. Glad it...
I edited my last post, adding the stuff about jumpers. There almost certainly should be one on the slave designating it as such.
More questions............ Any services changed, like Logical Disk Manager, Plug and Play, or or RPC? Does context menu give any properties?...
Jumpers set correctly? Is it NTFS or FAT and how big?
To run any program as a service easily, try the FireDaemon Service Manager: http://www.firedaemon.com/
What do you mean by "it wont let me access the data on it "? Is there a message that you could share? What exactly happens?
