Hello!

In the hierarchy of drives in a PC, CD-ROMS are below Zip drives. Installing
a Zip drive will bump the CD-ROM to the next available drive letter, no
questions asked. If your CD-ROM was at "D", it will now (after installing
the Zip) be at "E".

My system had been acting unstable (losing its color, crashing constantly
and without reason) so I thought I'd get a zip drive, copy all my files to
it, and start from ground zero, reformatting the hard drive and
reinstalling Windows and my other programs.

I bought the zip drive used.  When I went through the installation
process, the program installed itself into my "D" drive, overriding my CD
Rom.  I can only assume the previous owner did not have a CD Rom drive and
the program was installed in his "D" drive.

I've since uninstalled the zip drive and got my CD Rom back, but would
still like to install it, back up my files and reinstall Windows 98.

1.  Any suggestions on installing the zip drive?
