Great fun PC's eh!

Well, first thing to do is make sure the cables not slipped out,
Then under WIN98 delete the drive from the CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM bit and let WIN98 try and re-install it.

Also, what about booting into DOS? If its a normal IDE drive, just keep control pressed at BOOT and select DOS from the menu.
If you can't see it there (where theres NO drivers) then the drive could be dead... or the cable could have failed.

After that, try it on another PC, make sure its there!!
