I can't seem to find anything that sounds like my question. I see plenty of threads about a hdd not appearing in Windows 98; however my problem is that the hdd does appear in Win98 but not in DOS mode before Windows is loaded. This evening I found that the PS/2 keyboard on my 233MMX rig died so I am copying the DOS games to my Athlon II rig that runs Win98, at least until I get a new PS/2 keyboard.
On the Win98 pc, the msdos.sys file is edited to not load the gui. It has an 8GB primary master and DVD-RW primary slave. The secondary master and slave are both Western Digital 120GB disks, single partition, formatted FAT32. The primary drives work fine at the DOS prompt but the secondary drives are not accessible via drive letters. After typing win and Win98 is loaded they are available and work fine.
Does anybody know how to get them to work in DOS mode before Windows is loaded? Before now it was not a big deal because the only games installed were the Mechwarrior and Myst series - all Win98 stuff. If I am using it for DOS gaming for a length of time I might need to run them from DOS mode.
Thanks in advance
