No, what Brando is saying is the same thing I was thinking as soon as he said the new hdd didn't show in My Computer. The other drive that he just installed isn't formatted, so Windows won't recognize it.
You can't format the drive from within Windows 98, you need a boot disk that has the FDisk program on it.
You know what would make this really easy?
Take the one hard drive that has all of your old pictures on it out of the old computer temporarily. Rejumper it to slave, and install it in the newer computer. Copy pictures from the old hard drive to the hard drive that is in your new computer. Then shut down, reinstall old hard drive into old computer, and you'll be all set.
