I am so sorry for the above message. I was in a terrible fix when I wrote it last night. I can hardly make heads or tails out of it myself this morning. What it comes down to is the fact that I can't get a second hard drive bootable.
I have tried to install it on the second hard drive cable as well as the second c.d. rom cable. Jumpered as slave. I can't get the hard drive to recognize in the bios to install the operating system. I can use all of the help that I can get.
Thanks for the patience and help,
Laraine

A:please replace a disk, error.With the 98 start up and I have even tried the XP Automated Recovery Disk.. No Joy![]()
I have a Gateway that is running 700 mhz cpu and 256 mg memory.
I hooked the secondary adaptor from the hard drive to the second hard drive and did the same with the c.d. rom drive... I can't boot from the floppy or c.d. rom drive.
I appreciate the help,
