In response to replies I am giving additional information: Had two drives, each used alone at one time, each with Windows 98. Installed the two drives, one as master, other as slave, as temporary setup. Want to revert to having one drive, the drive now installed as slave. Had trouble with crashes with that drive when installed as single. Want to copy data from slave drive to CDs, and reformat that drive. CDRW and data are on slave drive. Can access data on slave drive, but some programs won't run, giving error messages programs need to be reinstalled. Going directly to .exe commands, bypassing shortcuts, did not help. Installing programs on master drive that are now on slave drive has not always worked. At minimum, I want to get CD copying program on slave drive running to copy data on slave drive to CDs.
