Yers one knows all about the master slave setting links.
Wondering what would happen if I install said hard disc as slave then delete every folder on it using win explorer,hmmm clutching at straws here Drapes.
Theres nothing wrong with this hard disc you understand,stick it in as master and it works just fine as a windows 2k operating system ,likewise clag it in as slave and it happily works with the win98 master.
I have four hard discs that I alternate in the machine,three of em are getting a bit long in the tooth, the one with win2k is not that old, I want to do a clean win 98 install on it and copy the stuff I want to keep from the other discs, in anticipation of tothers going tits up,which in ones experience will eventually happen,had a fright this morning,booted up to the message Primary Hard Disc Failier, managed to get round that and run a surface scan so disc will prolly be good for a few more months, but in ones experience once bad sectors start showing up,the disc is heading for binary heaven
