Right, from the looks of it the 1394 is part of your motherboard chipset. Win98 is much older than the 1394, so it may not recognize it.

I recently reformated my HD and reloaded win98se.
I am glad I had broadband for downloading all of the updates and drivers I needed.
If you only have a 52K modem, then WinXP could be a better choice.

BTW: I partioned my drive and gave C: (system) drive only 5GB. That's more than enough for the operating system, security program and antivirus. If my system registry crashes again, I only have to rebuild drive C:, while drive D: can be left alone.

P.S. It is likely to late for you to do it using the typical DOS utilities. But, there are programs like Partition Magic. There may even be some good freeware.
