Help!!- My drive is recognized in BIOS but not windows 98 - Anyone have this problem before?

[jkellynewyork]

PLease help - I have been switching jumpers changing configurations and power supply plugs - I cant get my second drive recognized in windows 98 but it is always recognized in the BIOS.

This is how the problem happened.

I had two drives, a burner and a dvd drive. Everything was hooked up running fine.
My OS got crappy after a while from downloads so I reformatted my drive with the OS on it and installed new OS. Now Windows 98 does not recogniz my other harddrive with all of my important data and my music and stuff. But it is recognized in the BIOS.

Can anyone please help? Oh I have a ECS K7vza motherboard.

Go into Control Panel - > System -> Device Manager and see if there is a yellow ! in the IDE/ATA Conterollers(harddrive conteroller) if so you may need to install the chipset drivers (Via 4in1). You can get updated ones off ECS Here or off Via themselves Here

No yellow - I tried the VIA 4 in 1's and that does nothing -
