I did a quick search through the forum but haven't found any hits. I installed win98 SE onto a spare 6GB 2.5mm laptop drive. When installed in my desktop machine it boots fine - straight into win98.
When installed into the webplayer, the bios recognises the drive, and it is setup up as the primary. However I get the dreaded Non System Disk / Replace Disk error and it refuses to boot.
Any ideas?
Mark.

Likely that the Cylinder/Head/Sector parameters that are automatically used in the machine you installed with are not being used by the Webplayer. Put the disk in the original machine, go into BIOS and see what C/H/S are actually being used in it. Then try to manually set those on the Webplayer. In my case, I had to force my desktop to use the C/H/S that the Webplayer used before I could put anything on the drive.

I found that my WP would not recognise Fuji drives at all. But it worked fine with all Toshiba drives. I had exactly the same problems as you describe with the HD working in my laptop fine. Hope this helps
