Can Win98 install SV1363D hard drive without OEM driver?
Can Win98 install samsung SV1363D hard drive with built-in generic ide drivers? I have searched the samsung website extensively and cannot find a specific driver for this old hard drive.
Windows whatever version will install hard drives, the kicker would be whether or not Windows recognizes and has the drivers for the IDE controller on your mainboard. If the system currently has no problems with the primary and secondary controller (in the System/Device Manager), then the drive should install properly (make sure that it is jumpered properly (master/slave), Some older drives may or may not interact well with another manufacturers drive.
