Thank you both ( Ron & JPS Hurricane) for your invaluable insights.--I always do "what if" questions in life and rarely get answer--haha)
Ron, I too figured if I removed a drive then that would wig out the booting sequence.
I plan for that machine to yes create windows 2000 on a separate HD and just toggle as needed from the bios. First I shall pu my formatted blank HD in there to see if the bios would even consider booting to it before I actually install the software.
On a different tower, I will try doing that as D: and see what I get on that.
I have found the 98 has been the most stable for me to use--I still have my dos 486 with win 3.11. As I mentioned an old database from BBS days blew up windows 2000 printer drivers.
The plan was to use win 2000 if I am dealing with USB flash drives that do not have the win 98 drivers, and I can get a higher converter for the docx documents if I am on windows 2000.
The ones for 98 I think stop near office 2003 documents. As for cloud stuff, really do not like that--try to keep everything self contained on external storage (floppy/zips and a few flash drives.
At work I deal with the more modern win xp, and 7--but still use the 98 whenever possible :-)
