XP installed...trouble with old 98SE drive now.
Just installed Win XP home on a new SATA drive. Every thing working fine. I plugged my old IDE drive in (which still has 98SE on it) to try and get some files off of it.
XP crashes...I am not trying for a dual boot system, I just want the files off the old drive. Is this a problem with the fat32 system, or are the two OS's on seperate drives causing the problems... Any suggestions? |

Little more detail please...
So you can boot into XP fine, but when you try to access the 98 HD it crashes? What errors are you receiving?

Sorry about that..it was getting late....
With just my new HDD (SATA) and XP, everything boots up fine. Powered down the system and hooked up my old HDD (the one that has 98 installed on it) to IDE channel 1. The next boot, XP will load but it will completely freeze after about 30 seconds. No mouse movement, won't accept any keyboard commands, ect. I then hit the reset button, and XP will not start at all. Get past the POST ok, then the screen blanks, and the computer POSTs again...it will continue over and over until I power it off... Possibly a BIOS setting? |

Are they old HD's?
Take out the 98 HD and see if everything boots up fine. Double check your jumper settings on the IDE HD and check BIOS for any options about your boot HD, which should be set to your SATA HD. |

Yes without the 98 HDD everything boots just fine. The 98 HD is about a year old. Boot priority in the BIOS is set to boot from the SATA drive first.
The 98 HD is by itself on an IDE cable and is jumpered to master... |

Update
Apparently the problem was with the new SATA hard drive....it threw a S.M.A.R.T. error finally. It also failed Maxtor's diagnostic tests miserably...
