Most likely this is due to the large disk volume . Windows 98 has a max of 64GB and windows 98SE 137GB per partition .

well
i think that you must try to re install win 98 as it might have got corrupted.

Try a fresh windows reinstall , and check your HDD with full cluster scan . If they support smart just run any HDD utility and check the current state of each offset to make sure that your HDD are working normally and your data is safe.

I agree, check the hard drive for bad clusters first then just make sure if you reinstall windows install windows 98 first before installing Windows XP.

I think this problem is due to the partition type (NTFS)
try to format (or just convert) the undetected ones to FAT32

well, i think you should try to format the drive in which win98 is installed and then reinstall it.No need to reinstall win xp.

First take all necessary back-up of your data and then format both the disk and try to reinstall operating system again.I hope this will work for you.
