Thanks for the help, LED. I have set everything to auto in the BIOS and the BIOS
still recognizes the new drive fine as the primary slave, but the drive still doesn't
show up under Win98SE, no new drive letters indicating the new drive are listed
under windows explorer. Will the drive only show up in WIn98SE after running fdisk and
assigning it a letter from within fdisk?
I've rarely had to use fdisk, so I'm not very familiar with it. I want to
format the new drive with FAT32 and set it up as one big partition (it's under 64 gig,
so should be no problem there). Also, I want to be very sure I don't accidentally
format the C: drive instead of the new drive before I've had a chance to copy
everything from the old drive to the new drive.

I can use my original Win98SE factory CD to boot from to run Fdisk, correct?
Any suggestions on what to do/not do when running fdisk would be a big help.
