I'm tinkering with an old PC I bought. It has two hard drives and it's currently booting/trying to boot off the 40GB Maxtor IDE ( I can get the model if you need it.)
I borked it once installing chipset drivers and then rebooting after it was stuck or seemingly so for 30 mins, then it would only boot in safe mode. I booted it just now and selected Normal Startup in MSCONFIG. After rebooting normally it has been on the initial Windows 98 boot screen with the scrolling bar at the bottom for at least 5 minutes now, almost 10. Is there anything I can do or try for faster times?
It has been a long time since I properly used Win98, I was in my teens.
This is the specs going off the eBay listing:
HP D530 - Celeron 2.60GHz 512MB RAM 2 x 40GB IDE.
I believe both are Maxtor IDE drives.
