Hi,
I have two hard drives (1st: 20Gb and 2nd: 4.3Gb). There are 3 fat partitions on the 1st one and 1 fat and linux partitions on the 2nd one. I have got win98 installed on both. When I boot from the second one, the os (both dos and windows) don't correctly detect my 2nd (e:) partition on drive 1. When in Dos mode, dir'ing on drive e: just displays garbage. In win98, when trying to open drive e:, it says a device attached to the system is not functioning. However windows assigns partition e: as g:, so I'm able to acces it correctly. I wonder what could be possibly wrong as there is no such problem when booting from the 1st drive.
Specs.
1ghz t+bird
mobo Ga-7zxrc
drives: both seagate
partitions type: all fat partitions are Fat32
