Being bootable makes no difference at all. I say this from extensive
experience.
Set your XP disk as master and your 98 disk as slave and you'll be able
to see the files.
You can edit the boot.ini file by hand, or use XP's fixboot command if
you have problems in this configuration.

I think that it being a bootable drive as
suggested by Clint is the source of the problem.
The restore program on my WIN XP Home
computer uses A FAT 32 Formatted partition
for the restore data. It is not a bootable
partition.
That drive is seen from
the WIN XP program that is on a NTFS
formatted partition. I am locked out from
access to the restore programs. I have
copied them to CD's using the program
supplied with the WIN XP OS. I plan
to see if they work when I get a chance.

There's some other problem here, Wally. XP will read FAT 32 drives

no problem. I do this often when helping people transfer files, and
many
manufacturers shipped XP as FAT32.
Double-check your jumper settings. Do you know for sure that this
drive
is good?
