It would be helpful if you could make the answer to this a sticky. I have searched your site and found answers here and there but a lot of them are not completely self contained, i.d. refer to other posts or sites or make comments like "you need a third party driver", but never mention where. Can someone point me to a thread that will answer this question? I have a 500 gb SATA II drive with a PCI express Serial ATA I/II Host Controller Card. The Mobo is a via p4pb 400 with a celeron 2.4 ghz - will soon have a 2.8 ghz P4 (I hope, but one thing at a time.) I am really thankful to find this site. I still have some hardware that works only on 98. It works really well, so am not interested in shelling out more $$$ just to keep up with the Gates Also, I found that 98 is extremely stable once the evil, nasty IE 5 was removed! I will continue to explore your site! Thanks again for all of your hard work.
