As far as it goes, Bob's advice about configuring it as a slave is good.
However, I wouldn't attempt to put a 40 gig drive into a pentium 100 system.
The bios is old, and win95 had problems with large drives.  There are other
drive features too, that the pentium era ide bus would not support.  If the
drive was backed up, I might consider it, but I think its too experimental
to risk your data.

I had to ship my 850MHz AMD Athlon to vendor for warranty repairs and pulled
my 40gb HD (to protect valuable and confidential business data) and not
relevant to the repairs, before sending. I also have an old 100MHz Pentium
with WIN95 OS, which I maintain for old files storage and for the grand kids
to play small games on. Since I need to maintain processing business
information on a current basis while awating return of my repaired machine,
I need to know, before doing so, if I can temporarily replace my old small
hard drive with the HD from my AMD (a WIN98 OS) without any kind of negative
consequences. I am a little concerned, especially with the marked difference
in BIOS. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and will contribute
to reducing my stress level.
