hi,
it wasn't lithium.
they saved it with a wicket.
I wonder if nobody here ever read Douglas Adams' hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

Here's the way I would probably approach it:
Be sure you have a Windows 98 boot disk that recognizes your CD-ROM drive. (If you don't have one, you can download a program to create one from bootdisk.com).
Power down.
Jumper the 3.2 GB as Master (with Slave) and hook it up to the Primary IDE connector on the motherboard.
Jumper the 1.0 GB as Slave and hook it up to the same ribbon cable as the 3.2 GB. (Note: Make sure you have the striped edge of the cable going to Pin 1 on both hard drives and the motherboard connector).
Boot up from your Windows 98 boot disk.
Run FDISK, (answering Yes to "enable large disk support"), and create a single, full-size partition. (Also make sure that this partition is marked as Active).
Do a FORMAT C: /S to format the partition.
Do the following command to copy everything from your 1.0 GB drive D: to your 3.2 GB drive C:
xcopy d:\*.* c: /r/i/c/h/k/e/y/s
Remove the Windows 98 boot disk from A: and boot from the 3.2 GB drive C:.
After you're sure everything is working properly on C:, run FDISK, (enable large disk support? Yes), to Delete and then Recreate the partition on the 1.0 GB. Then do a FORMAT D: to prepare it to accept files.
You're now ready to attempt your upgrade to Windows 98SE.
Of course he is answering a post, But it is interestingly cheap.

Odd...I understood jaak perfectly concerning the remark about Auther Dent....
Has it actually been one year, GG1? Can't be. Yikes!
To long, to long, to long. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Got the kids in bed finally. I did purty good for a grand dad.
Yep, DrMDJ, been waiting quite a spell and I'm savoring every part of it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

well would somebody explain it for those who dont understand????? Arthur Dent???? must be before my time.....Arther Kent I remember....the Scud Stud from Operation Desert Storm.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
jaak
what are these partitions for?" thread is the perfect place for that info. You have the letter I posted there already. Then it can be found using google. How I got the reminder of that thread. Yes, I found it there. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Hi,
this method with xcopy...
some swear by it, some swear at it.
it does copy all files over.
and this method Vernon posted was valid, since this guy wanted to run an upgrade to win8SE over the old disk.
so, in normal systems, (where no hidden partition with bomid is needed) it can be done.
it may even run from the moment you boot from the copy.
one can (IMHO, one should) copy the setup files and cabinets into a folder on hard disk where one will have access to, no matter what happens.
Thus, one could run a "repair" setup over the files that were copied over.
(pretty much like the upgrade this member wanted do.)
===========
now, with this BOMID and the 32 size issue on GG1's machine, I still think it should work if he first disconnects his current systemdrive.
and then set up the machine (the BOMID and recovery system) on this as yet unused new 40 giga hard, connected on the PCI controller.
this way, the BOMID would get on the new disk.
if my thinking is right, the setup files are then put in options...
he could copy them to a folder closer to root
like C:\win98
and after this, gg1 may be able to connect the old systemdrive to secondary port on mobo, boot to windows to chech what is being booted.
(he may be up in the old system, but with luck, is in the new system...)
Then, booting to a dosprompt, check with
DIR C: /w /o /p
xcopy the stuff over to the other hard drive.
I would not do it from within windows.
and, personally, once the BOMID is on the new disk, I would use ghost to copy partition to partition, AFTER a DIR check
its harder to explain than to do.
but, one must at least doublecheck so as to see which drive holds the old system and data files.

I keep several "rigged" (with "xcopy" on them, since it's not normally part of a '98 boot disk) '98 boot disks for the purpose of doing just this xcopy-trick - and a couple of prepared bat-files.
You can do it from within Windows, but do it folderwise in that case, and don't try to copy the swap file - it won't work!

Question of the day.....I need a good hsf that will work both with the socket 370 celeron that I am using now and the piii 933 that I am going to acquire for this board later....I am using the vantec cck-6035 in my athlon machine and it works great..however this particular machine is to be left on all the time and I do not want to hear that delta fan running all night long so I need a different setup for this machine...what do you suggest for the socket 370....next part of the question is this I know that the athlons are hot runners I have done alot of research in this area on my own as well as with all of you. I do not know however any temperature information on the piii does it run anywhere near as hot as the athlons? what is an idea temp range for this cpu..As those of you know who have been reading this thread regularly I cannot overclock with the mobo I bought...now big deal 933 will certainly meet the needs of this machine just fine because the 333 that is in it now is working good not quite as fast as what I would want tho...kind seems like a dinosaur next to the 1.2ghz athlon...so when I upgrade soon I want to be prepared....I tried to use the stock hsf that came with the athlon socket a cpu but it would not sit right on the celeron it kinda wanted to slip to one side..
I knew I would find more than just 1 question...I have all but given up on the ultra66....I may try DrMdjs suggestion thsi weekend and try flashing with the fastrak bios to see if I can turn it into a raid controller....as an experiment....I may still return this card....I am thinking about getting either the maxtor or promise ata100 controller..however with GG1s experiences I am kind of leary...I want to use this in my athlon machine that is running via chipset I want to be 100% certain that the card will work in my machine before I buy it have any of you used either of these cards in this type board...you can see my other posts with specs on the ecs k7vza board or go to www.ecsusa.com to see the chipset information. I appreciate all your help and input into these projects I have been doing and I promise that once BT is underway I will post in separate threads...
If I remember right QOH was around 30C - 32C with the 866 O/Ced And bistro was in the 25 to 28 range. But he has a blow hole also. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
