with the xp disk unpluged run fdisk on the drive you wish to install 9x on. (9x must
be installed at the beging of the disk cos its a bit lame) so delete all partitions
on the second drive. format the disk and then install 98.
another way to get your data back is just to bung the drive into one of your other
pc's and copy it off.
as for the other problems - iam not sure :(
