RE: HDD install not showing
Having two different file types will not matter. If the drive is NTFS as long as the computer has Windows 2000 or higher it wont matter it will still see it.
The main reason why it wont show is possibly there is no partition on the drive to be seen. To check this download a Windows 98 Startup Disk from here (http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
My suggestion is this one: Windows 98 SE Custom, No Ramdrive). Now you want to reboot the computer with the floppy disk in the drive. If it asks about CD Rom support just click enter. Next when you are at an A Prompt (A:\>) type in fdisk and press enter.
You will see a screen about Large Disk Support, press Y then enter.
Next you will be at a Menu press the number 4 (Display Partition Information)
At this screen it will show you the Partitions on your Master Drive. It will say at the bottom about switching drives (I forget exactly what it says.) So press the number or action corresponding to that. Next you will see the Partition information on the Slave Drive. Just repost here what you see.
Which Windows was on the server? Put the hard drive back into the server and reboot the machine. Once in Windows goto My Computer > Right Click the Drive (Possibly D Drive) and select Properties close to the top it will say File System: If it says NTFS the drive is unreadable in ME and will need to be FDISKED in order to be detected.
