The problem you have could be the result of the following:
1. You have incorrectly connected the interface cable
(red strip -> pin 1 on the drive, which should be marked on the
drive or on the drive's documentation)
2. You have an incorrect master/slave configuration. If you had
only one HD and are adding second on the same cable, set your
1st hd as Master and second as Slave; if you had HD and CDROM
at one cable and adding second cable, check that the HD is set
to Single Drive.
3. If you have created partitions in Win98 and are trying to
access them
from Win95, they will not be accessible if they are Fat32
partitions.
