what size is the HD is it win 98 or 98SE??

and I presume the jumpers settings are correct?

As the lads were saying, check fdisk look for FAT16 or FAT32 to be sure and what capacity is your disk. Make sure that it is formatted correctly.

You probably done all that but just make sure, often the mistake is something simple and overlooked.

Try putting it as the primary master and remove the other drive and see what happens...
