The first time the new drive was used did a new hardware found screen come up?  It should have found the modem and asked for the driver for it. If you look in device manager on the new drive with Win 98 SE what do you see under modems, if anything.  If nothing, then you need to use the new hardware wizard to install the modem.

>One hard drive running Win98SE shows the computer's internal modem on Com 3. He is able to connect to the internet and surf and send emails etc.

>He has bought another hard drive, had it installed in a tray and has formatted it and installed Win98SE. Everything seems to be working well except there is NO Com 3. The OS on this hard drive cannot detect the modem. It cannot have been unseated because when you replace the old hard drive in the tray, Com 3 and the modem has returned.

>I don't have the complete specs for this computer (Sorry). It does has a 56 K internal conextant modem, 256mb RAM. The Hard drive that "works" is a 10 Gig, and the one that "doesn't work" is a 40 Gig.
