tips:

(1) In Windows 98 you should not repeat not be running Cardworks for Windows

or any other PC Card drivers.

Unlike W95, W98 has its own built-in cardbus support, and anythingelse will

interfere. Uninstall them.

(2) Try uninstalling/reinstalling the hardware. Boot into safe mode, go to

the Device Manager (eg, by right-clicking on My Computer),

and remove the PC card hardware. While you're there,

remove any entries you can find for (a) the CD-Rom, (b) any HD

devices/controllers except the ones necessary for your new drive.

Especially remove

duplicate entries. Don't worry about removing too much, anything essential

you take out will be restored on your next windows boot.

After you remove the entries, power down and power back up (i.e., very hard

boot) with the CD in place.
