Go into a WinDoze98 Full DOS session & start it's fdisk. You may need to cd into windows/command; where the fdisk util lies. Type fdisk. Now, one of the options in thier, is change Hard Disk Drives & sellect your second drive. It will show-having selected it, (well the Doze95 version did....), something like "non-DOS partition." Just delete that, exit the utility; it is kind of intuitive to run & then remove the HDD, sell the machine & have a nice day.... Hope that helps.
