Just to make it a little easier. &nbsp; You can download a windows 98 bootdisk @ &nbsp;<a href="http://www.bootdisk.com" rel="ugc">www.bootdisk.com</a><br />
<br />
It already has Fdisk and cd rom drivers, if you need them in the future. &nbsp;So save the disk, it might come in handy.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have just installed a new hard drive onto my computer. The problem is that it does not appear in Windows Explore however the BIOS picks it up fine.<br />
<br />
Both the drives are put on the Primary IDE channel and the new one is the SLAVE one.<br />
Both the drives jumpers are set to 'cable select'. (almost positive about that for the old one)<br />
<br />
O.S. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Windows 98<br />
HDD. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SAMSUNG SpinPoint<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
The Del<br />
<br />
What I want to do is install another O.S on the other one (so I can choose which one I want to boot up) so any advice on that also would be very helpful after we have solved this problem!<br />
<br />
p.s If the solution includes FDISK caould you explain what that means, and if I can select what drive letters I want for the new drive partitions.<br />
<br />
Cheers Again<br />

Installing another Hard Drive - BIOS picks it up but Windows doesn't

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
