my win98 just crapped out and i had to format and reinstall win98. before the format i had 2 different hdds listed as c: and d:. they were originally set up by a tech at best buy. after the format i cannot access my d: drive and even when it is connected i cannot boot into windows and cannot find it in the command prompt because my cd drives have taken over d: and e: drives. i know a pretty good deal about comps but not how to do this. can anyone please help???? thanks!
