Hi,

What do you mean by "cant get xp to show up on other h/drive"?

What is it you're trying to do?
Do you want to dual boot between WinXP and Win98?
or Are you simply trying to add the second drive?

Why does WinXP not play the kids game?
Did you run out of disk space?
Are the games not WinXP compatible?

If the games are not WinXP compatible, right click the game's EXE file and select Make compatible, and run as Win98 compability.

Hi,

Since both drives already have an installed version of Windows the only thing to do is fix the boot sector of the first drive to be able to access either installation.

Boot off the WinXP cd and run the Recovery Console. Then at the command prompt, type 'bootcfg /scan' <ENTER> (no quotes). This will scan all drives for Windows installations and allow you to add to the Boot Menu. If this doesn't work, try running FIXBOOT before.
