Booting Without the Removable Hard Drive Thursday, January 6, 2005 at 4:32 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dewey Nelson (231 messages posted) I have a removable hard drive (D:/) that I backup my primary Hard drive (C:) to and then remove the hard Drive and store in a fire proof safe until next time. I just replaced my primary Hard Drive (C:\) with a larger Hard Drive and now I am not able to boot unless I have my removable hard drive in the computer. The computer merely comes up with a IBM Aptive Icon type screen (as it always has/does and where I can press F1 to change the BIOS), but it just hangs on this screen. I'm confused and hope someone can steer me in the right direction.
