Is this because I formatted the drive using XP or a problem with the boot
disk Im using?
Either may be the case.
Just follow the steps from my last post, but before you finally put the HD
back in the Lib for Win98 installation proper:
- DISCONNECT your desktop's HD (!!!),
- connect your new Lib's HD to the IDE cable which is normally attached to
the desktop's HD (using 2.5-3.5" adapter),
- Boot desktop from Win98 boot floppy,
- and then run: A:FDISK /MBR
Put the new HD in the Lib, reconnect your desktop's HD as it was before.
This FDISK /MBR command will make sure the MBR (some disk partitioning data
structure on the HD) is something that Win98 fully understands.
Again, I'd check in FDISK to make sure that the primary partition in the Lib
drive is set to Active. Jon had a problem with that previously:

And I suspect XP was the culprit.
