Have a dual boot setup with Windows 98SE & Windows 2000 Professional.Just installed an Iomega 100mb IDE Zip drive as a slave to my CDRW on the Secondary channel.Windows 98SE > no problem. When I boot to Windows 2000 with the zip drive hooked up > the screen goes black instead of showing the "starting windows" and progress lines at the bottom.The Monitor power light stays on.With the zip not hooked up > Win2K starts up just fine.Any ideas?

Finally realized that the puter was seing the zip as a hard drive (older puter) and Win2K was seeing it a a partition so I booted to 98 and edited the "Rdisk" portion of the Boot.ini file > problem solved!
