I have a maxtor 40gb drive I had 4 partitions on. I was going to use it in a dual boot setup. I booted to cd of WinXP to use it's partition program. All 4 partitions was available to use, I chose to delete the last partition and it did say it was deleted. I then thought I would be able to use that to increase the size of the other 3 before installing Win98 then WinXP. I rebooted to start the in stall of 98 when I noticed in bios that the 40gb drive is now showing up as a 30gb drive. I rebooted through the XP cd, to the partition program and it show only a 3-10gb drive. I have not installed anything on this drive as yet. Can I get the 10gb back?
2nd problem, I used a different drive to setup a Win98/XP dual boot system. Installed 98 and got it operational with all other hardware. Then installed XP got it operational with all hardware. Thought everything was good until I booted to 98. It now does not show my CD\RW or CD-ROM. I looked in the device manager and under "hard disk controllers" it shows this.
"Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Storage Controller 244B" (no problems here)
On the next 2 areas there is a yellow explanation mark.
"Primary Ultra ATA controller"
"Secondary ultra ATA controller"
Went to update driver and I think it's looking for this file (IATA98.cat)
Thanks
