Hi

have a computer one year old win xp 1.9 512 ram cdrom dvd geoforge 3 sb live system.
i couldn't get old games to play
i took old maxtor hd i bought 1998 and added to new computer
new computer recognizes the driver as drive f.
I want to play old dos games on this old drive.
but...how do i get it to work?
i went into bios f10 but don't see any area that would say
to change the boot to the new F drive.

can you please help me?
and can I do this?

also win 98 drivers i download for all hardware want to open up into the C:\ cab folder. I have to stop it before it goes there.
Winzip is automatically opening up the d/l file and trying to put the files in the C;\ drive but I want them to go into the F drive.

I need help bad

First what kinda mobo are you running? Second are the jumpers set right on the drive? and also if im correct you cant install games on slave drives ( not sure ive had problems with this so i gave up on it hehe ) otherwise just check the jumpers and make sure your booting off the right drive that you want i.e my bios says
boot device 1-floppy - runs first
boot device 2-cd rom - runs second
boot device 3-harddrive1 - runs third
boot device 4-harddrive2 - runs forth

well i hope that helped alittle if i can help just email me and i will gladly do so :)

of all the things ive lost... i miss my mind the most!!!
