Restoring 2nd Hard Drive after backup

StevenJ · 09-06-2005, 10:49 AM

Hello all,

I just performed a complete backup of my C: onto my second hard drive D: and had to reinstall Win 98, but now I can't get back to my D: to restore.

BTW, my second drive shows up in Bios.

Now my DVD/CD is using drive D: and I don't know how to rename it or get to my second hard drive, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Update: I figured out how to reletter DVD/CD drive to E:

[By clicking on properties in Device Manager and changing both to E:]

However, I also found the second drive also in device manager but the letter assignment was blank and greyed out [couldn't be changed]. Windows 98 is still not showing it in "my computer."
