Is there anybody still monitoring this group that might give me some help?

I am still using Windows 98 (SE) in an old computer because it has some
capability I don't have with this computer running on Windows XP HE.

Now the old computer will not boot. Set-up does not detect the master HDD
which is partitioned into C and D. Using Win 98 (SE) start-up diskette, I
was able to access the C:\ drive and run Scandisk which found no errors.

I don't understand what is going on nor what else to do about it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the BIOS doesn't see the drive -- i.e. in the boot up sequence -- you should not be able to access the drive. Access the drive how? I thought you couldn't...

Well, John, as Mark Twain observed, "The problem isn't what we don't know; it's what we do know that just ain't so". The bottom line is that from my Windows 98...
