Sure! But it will probably explode if you attempt to BOOT into W2K or XP.... :wink:

Seriously, if there's an OS installed on the HD, BOOT into SAFE mode first (F8), open device manager and let it check for new hardware and install any required drivers (I would suggest having them available on CD), then reboot and keep your fingers crossed.

There is nothing on it, so I can pop it in, and just boot 98win from CD?
