This may or may not help, but here are a couple of suggestions. Firstly, shut down the system totally, unplug it, and open the case. Disconnect every single wire, card, and memory, then put it all back tightly. I cannot count how many times I ran into problems after putting something new inside my system, where I nudged a memory stick, or the IDE cable and it was just a tad loose. Also, make sure that Win98 drive is not in there anymore. Next, as soon as you start up the system, go into the BIOS. Usually you would hit F1 or Del key to do it. (You should get a message on screen for the correct key.) Once in there, you should have an option somewhere to Load Failsafe Defaults. Choose this option, save the changes, and exit. While you are in there though, you may want to see if the system still "sees" another physical disk. Make sure it only sees the one actually in there. Once the computer gets past the initial memory test, start tapping on your F8 key. You should get a boot options menu. If you do, choose Safe Mode. This should load Windows with the least overhead possible. Once you get into Windows, open the Control Panel. Then open the System option. Go to Hardware->Device Manager. Make sure through there that all of the hardware is being seen by Windows. If it is, try rebooting again, without Safe Mode. If something has a problem, say, the network card isn't being seen correctly or something to that effect, shut down, remove the problem device, then try booting again. I can't guarantee any of this will help, but at this point, it is worth a shot.
