Slave is Main HDD

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

There should be a switch or jumper on both drives. Normally, you need to 
switch on to master and the other to slave. Some drives have a setting for 
"olny drive". I have found that on my system one of my older drives would 
never operate as a slave behind another drive. At that time my solution was 
to make that drive a master on the secondary channel.
Once you make the jumper changes on both drives, you must go into your BIOS 
and let the BIOS autodetect the drives.
Remember that Windows98 wants to live on the C: drive.
