I'm trying to get a couple old computers up and running. I put Windows 98 SE on one. and it is going fine, but when I put a second hard drive in it showed up as "host for c" and was completely full. Is there anyway I can fix this? I think it has something to do with drivespace?? Like I said earlier, I'm running 98 SE and the hard drives are around a gig each...thanks

The slave drive is: Connor CFA1275A
The master is: Seagate ST31720A

yeah, anytime you see a "host for" drive in win98 it's for drive compression which is NOT recommended for any operating system.

I was unable to format it because when I tried it said the drive was compressed...what do I need to do to get around that? thanks for the help
