Thanks for the quick reply.

OKAY so leaving the 98 in as my C drive, do windows 2000 to D: drive.
Understood.  Was there not something else, that I needed to configure in the install when doing it with that method to prevent any type of overwriting?  Also since I create a ghost image file for when the hard drive fails, would this become invalid if I ever was to use win 2000 as the primary without the windows 98 in the tower since it would be reading to d rather than c?

Also, If each hard drive had the operating systems installed on them while each was the only one in the machine, is there something I can do with that rather than re-doing win 2000?

Wow, Win98 goes back some time.  There are so many ways to do what you
asked.  Probably the simplest is to have 98 installed on your C drive (or
partition).  Install the new drive (most likely you will need to format
over your existing Win2000) and then (with your Win98 drive in place)
install Win2000.  You will be asked where you want to install the new
software (probably the D drive).  The install process will create a
multi-boot loader.  When starting the computer, you will be asked which you
want to use.  This process works with most Microsoft operating systems but
they have to be installed in the order released (98, 2000, xp, etc).  Good
luck.
