I finally got my dual boot linux/win98 machine configured today and I transfered a few samples from DAT to HD in the win98 DAW. But I have one last problem before I button this up.
When I boot win98 off it's ide drive with no sata drive installed in the system, the win98 OS comes up and there is no trouble with any application.
When I boot the windows 98 as the primary drive or when I boot win98 via grub and I have the SATA drive plugged in, win98 hangs during the "found new hardware" operation when it is trying to identify the correct driver for "new ide controller".
At this point my solution is to power off, unplug the sata, and power on the win98 DAW. Not the choice result I was hoping for.
Any one have any ideas? I googled for SATA win98 issues for about 2 hours and never found a solution.
