My windows 98SE system always runs scandisk on either a warm/cold boot. It also goes into a thorough scan of the hard drive. This drive was ghosted from a previous drive that may have had bad sectors. What can I do to allow my system to boot normal?

If you haven't let it finish the scan, do so. It probably has bad sectors, but if you interrupt the scan, it can't fix them.

Once they're fixed, you should be OK.
