Can not access 2nd HD
Has a drive letter been assigned to the drive?
I presume that you had 98SE on your 1st HDD. This is what I would do: = reformat the system drive (C) to FAT 32 =BB reinstall 98SE =BB copy the = data from 2nd HDD to CD RW =BB format C to NTFS during the XP install = =BB set XP up the way I like it =BB install programs =BB if the 2nd HDD = is still unallocated format it =BB copy back the data files from CD RW. It is a lot of work. But if it saves your data it's worth it. I have = done this very thing in the past. Now I keep my data on a seperate = drive and back that up to another HDD.=20 That is my best advice to you, because if you format the 2nd HDD without = saving the data to another type of media it will be lost.
