If I recall correctly, Win9x needs to be on the primary hard drive to boot. I tried to set the RAID array as the primary boot drive and made an image of the Win98 boot sector on the 2940U2W/HDD, but the NT boot loader would not boot W98 from that secondary hard drive. I have updated the image of the Win98SE boot sector so that either configuration can boot Win98SE when that drive is the boot drive. Both configurations are clones of each other.
The 2940U2W drive also has XP, W2K, and 98SE installed. 98SE is running in MS-DOS compatibility mode because there aren't proper Win9x drivers, which is why I want to boot Win9x from a secondary HDD on a standard PCI SCSI card.
The RAID array is setup in a stripe RAID 0 configuration. Problem is that there aren't any Windows 98 drivers for the RAID card, so I am trying to run Windows 2000 and XP from the RAID card and boot Windows 98SE from a SCSI drive connected to a standard AHA-2940U2W PCI SCSI card. The motherboard has one of these neat 64-bit RAID port III connectors for an Adaptec RAID card.
