Openning HDD in external cases

I am trying to open a Windows 98 HDD that I've put in an external case with XP and all I get is a message saying that the drive has no operating system. Any ideas on how to open it?

Ken there isn't a chance that the new drive is formatted in the NTFS flavour, is there? Win 98 would have a terminal fit trying to read that...

That question is beyond me, I wouldn't know what it's formatted in although it asks if I want it reformatted, obviously not!! It won't even open in DOS so I'm taking it along to PC World to see if they can help, but I've also remembered I have adesktop that runs in NT so I might put it there as a slave and see if it will open it.

Thanks for the prompt reeply.
