T3h,

To install as a slave the jumper should be not connected or connected to a single pin (so you don't lose it).

Also see if it is detected in CMOS.

the bios picks it up though.. and ive tried it with NO jumper on it too..

and which is it, not on ther at all, or only to a single pin? and if that, what pin?

Windows will not "see" a drive until it is formated . . you can boot from your win98 boot disc and format the drive.
