Adding Hard Drive under Win98

[Broke2]

I am trying to add a 4.3 gig hard drive to a P200 with an existing 2 gig hard drive.No matter which bus I put the drive on,(also regardless of master/slave) Win 98 shows an IDE controller error and hence MS-DOS compatability mode on that bus.M/B is a Gigabyte 586ATV.In addition, when I try to Ghost the 2 gig to the 4 gig, it insists on a 2 gig partition for the 4 gig drive. (Could this be because of the forced MS-DOS compatability mode?)
If I take this drive off, everything is fine in Win98. I have already tried a different brand hard drive...same result.Help!

Assuming the bios recognizes the HD fine . .
When you installed the new HD (before booting into Win98) did you set up a partition for it, say with fdisk? Create a partition (4 gigs), format it for Windows, and setting it up as the slave on the first bus let windows boot up. Does it still give you problems? Windows should just show it as the D: drive. If this isn't working what error is it giving you?

Note to self: Even when server returns with an Internal server error, it still posts the message.
