re: Switching IDE Master and Slave HDD's Monday, March 13, 2006 at 10:29 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bob wells (1633 messages posted) andrew, Pull the Hdd and install it in another Win98 system. Recover what you can, then reinstall, Fdisk/format and do a clean install of your OS. Lots less trouble.
