re: Booting Without the Removable Hard Drive Thursday, January 6, 2005 at 5:02 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Fed-up (219 messages posted) Weird. Are you able to get into the BIOS? Perhaps the removable drive is listed in the boot sequence ahead of your hard drive, or perhaps your new HD is not recognized at all, so it can't boot? Have you been able to boot up and use the new HD?
