I got this retro pc without an hdd. I got a 30 GB laptop hdd. I connect that hdd with a desktop to laptop ide converter. When installing windows 98 it asking whether trun on large disk support or not and reboot. But after restart pc freezes after boot from cd rom screen with a blinking underscore . What can be the issue here. Is there a way to install windows 98 to the drive externally and use on this?

30GiB is too large, try IDE to CF with 2GiB card.
