I have an old Compaq computer wit windows 98 SE installed on it. I have a CD
ROM and a DVD ROM installed on it. The original hard drive was 4 Gigabytes.
I have installed a 40 Gig on it. I want to put a controller on it to plug
the 40 Gig in to.
The hard drive is plugged in to the motherboard at this time. The computer
is not seeing either ROM, and that is the problem. I can't install the
software for the con-
troller because of that. the computer is just seeing a little over 2 Gig of
the hard drive. Help!

It would be a good idea to post your question in a Windows 98 newsgroup.

I suspect Win98 SE has limitation on the size of HD it can recognize and also
your motherboard must be relatively old to recognize newer DVDs and CD drives.
It is a very long time since I last used Win 98SE but as Pegasus said, you will
be better off posting your query to win98 NG.
