I'm wanting to install windows 98 on my system.  Currently it is a
linux only machine.  My drive configuration is as follows:

 /dev/hda -> Linux hard drive (master primary)
 /dev/hdb -> none
 /dev/hdc -> want to be windows drive (master secondary)
 /dev/hdd -> CDROM (slave secondary)

/dev/hdc has nothing on it.  Not even a partition.  It used to have
linux until I upgrade the drive with /dev/hda.  But I removed all
partition tables.

I've just attempted a few times to install windows, but it complains
about the drive and it can't install on it.  I'm guessing that maybe
it sees only hda and can't install there.  I actually found a new
partition on /dev/hda that was zero blocks in size, starting at the
end of the drive.  I'm guessing windows did that.

So, does windows require master primary to install?  Is there another
way around it?  What's the easiest way to deal with this and keep my
linux install on /dev/hda intact?

Thanks,
Rob
