Trying to install my old 2nd HD (data only) formatted in win98se into my new XP SATA system. Have it set to slave but when I boot it is always reads as primary master, thus fails to boot while looking for the Win98 OS. How can I do this?

When using only one IDE drive the drive has to be set as Master or Single drive. The "slave" setting means "this hard drive will be controlled by the other hard drive controller on this same cable".

The SATA drive should be mapped into the primary master position in your CMOS setup and the IDE should be secondary master so that you will boot from SATA.

Also, be aware that you should not create a primary partition on the IDE drive.
