I have an issue with a 98 and it is not finding my secondary drive unless on slave and I still cannot see the drive. I reapparitioned it to have no software and just be a storage drive but still only when it shows me at the first screen with the memory test . What should I do to be able to see it under my computer and store items?
It is also running Windows XP
 
Did you format it into something Windows can recognize after partitioning? FAT16, FAT32 maybe?

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
It is likely that your storage drive was partitioned and formatted as NTFS which 98 can't see.

You could fdisk using the latest 98 version, delete the non-dos partition , then create a new partition and format it.
