Thanks Walterius, that is a good suggestion except for the problem
I have with data cables. The distance between master and slave on
the primary is rather short. I can't hang a hdd up there without risking
a short somewhere on mobo (I don't think). If I can't come up with a
fix for the problem, I will see if I can try it. Thanks again, jenny

Rich is correct in that the fact that Win98 is installed on the old drive should not cause any problem as long as you're not going to boot to it and you're using it solely for storage and/or backup purposes; however, I'm not sure why Rich recommended installing the old drive as a Master on the Secondary IDE channel. ...
