Toshiba Satellite 1675CDS notebook
(original win98 package system cds long gone)
Fujitsu MHK3060AT 6.+GB 2.5' 9.5mm hard drive,

After updating to latest bios (worked) and then attempting install of OEM version of 98 on the system, it quit identifying the hard drive.
The setup does not have anything that searches for the drive, and I am sure it isnt damaged. Just says "none" (info only, no change of parameters in setup) in description field for hard drive. Ontrack.com Fujitsu hard disk install software cant install the drive, if it doesnt see it.
I suspect that the video and system shadowing, caused the hard drive to loose its location when trying to install an OEM Windows 98 system, but expecting system restore disks version. The drive disappeared during the reboot to bring windows up first time on hard drive. There also is NOT a way to turn shadowing off for system or video in setup.
I dont believe I can wake up the hard drive while in laptop, but have to attach it to an existing system while jumpered as a slave, to release being locked out.
I found an ibm drive to replace the fujitsu, but will still have to clean out cmos to install it. This cant be the first time someone has installed an OEM version of Windows 98, on a laptop.
Time to stop and ask somebody that has been here, which way to go. Your thoughts please.
