Help please

Does anyone know why win 98 will not install onto my second hard drive? It ran fine with my old P4 1.7 cpu but a recent change to a P4 2.4 seems to have upset it. I have formatted and reinstalled but cannot complete setup before system crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The second (slave drive) must be formatted to FAT16/32.
Are you installing it as a second operating system?

Yes as a second operating system- I must admit I don't know which drive is set as slave (or how much it matters).

You need to check that the drive is set as slave. on top of the drive should be a diagram showing you the three settings, the jumpers are located on the back of the drive.
Once that is done, make sure the drive is formatted to FAT32.
