help ive just bought a 126gb maxton hd i am running w98se with a 27gb hd now both have got win 98 installed the computor reconises both drive .but i CANT choice betweent the two which to boot. any one know the answer please.You need to have a boot manager. Windows 98 does not provide this.But you can get one for free at a boot manager site.  I'd suggest getting a MULTIBOOT compliant LOADER such as GRUB (google.com search-> grub) although it seems complicated after reading a little of the documentation you can setup the required partitions.thank you for your advice i will try this out and let you know if i have any success.daveIf you don't mind paying for a good boot manager which will do backups and drive images as well, I would suggest BootIT NG from TeraByte Unlimited.

Why did you PUT '98 on both drives INSTEAD of making the second drive part of the first drive's Extended DOS partition and adding Logical drives to it?

Do you need two copies of '98?
