Ok, my harddisk had crashed and was giving a lot of problems. I disconected the bad one and installed Win98 on the other HD. Max 40, Amputate Your Head and everyone else were a real big help, thanks once again! Now everything is working fine but I need data from the first HD.

So when I reconnect the 2nd harddisk the computer tries to boot up from that and gives me some boot error. How do I connect both harddisks but boot from the one where I have re-installed windows? I tried switching the cables but it still boots the corrupted harddisk first.

Is it some jumper settings or is it a BIOS option? I have some mercury motherboard.
