I have a Compaq dc7600 which has p4 dual 3.2 Ghz, o/b graphics card and sound card. Can I install Win98 on it?

I've been offline for days, sorry. Seems I made a big mistake. I cloned my SATA drive into an IDE drive. Now when I disconnect the SATA and connect the IDE one(clone) as master, Windows doesn't start up. I get a non system disk error message. Is it possible that I make a new clone of my IDE into a new SATA? If not, now that the original drive is wiped, how can I undo this mess? PS: I'm planning to use my new bootable clone totally offline, so there's no need for a dispute I think. edit: When I connect both drives, BIOS recognizes both drives, saves changes and reboots, then sees only the SATA drive and boots from it. Sometimes it recognizes the IDE driver as "0 MBs". ???

Wow, that simple? What should the jumper setting on the second drive be? And should the XP versions be the same?

My desktop at the office is going to be wiped clean and re-installed, and I'm going to be a restricted user. I made a clone of today's state into an IDE HDD. Now I want to select which HDD to boot at startup(to overcome the restrictions). How can I manage this? edit: One more problem. Read below pls.
