If you are using Windows 98 SE, and your computer prompts you
to insert the Windows 98 SE Installation CD after connecting your
hard drive, it means you need to install additional FireWire (1394)
support software from Microsoft. You should disconnect your
hard drive, then locate, download, and install the latest FireWire
(1394) drivers for Windows 98 SE from the Microsoft website
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com .
Your hard drive will appear as a new drive letter in My Computer.
