There are a few limitations for using mobile docking bays for extra hard drives.
Is the dock connected to the same IDE cable as your boot hard drive?
If so, you may need to change the jumper on the other hard drive to master with slave present.
At a minimum, the drive in the mobile dock needs to be jumpered as a slave drive.
If the mobile dock is on a separate IDE channel, make sure that the drive jumper is set to master without slave (single drive).
If the mobile dock is connected to the same cable as your CD drive, make sure that both drives are jumpered properly.
Does the drive show up in BIOS settings?
Make sure that the IDE channel that the mobile dock is connected to is set to auto-detect.
If this is a brand new drive, it needs to be partitioned before Windows can see the drive.
I might be wrong, but I don't believe that you can partition a drive from within Windows 98.
You need to boot from a W98 startup disk.
Then, run the Fdisk utility.
CAUTION: make sure that you switch to the new drive, and do not change the partition structure for your boot drive.
You can find links to tutorials on fdisk at www.fdisk.com/fdisk
Once the drive is partitioned, W98 will see the drive and allow you to format it.
Then, you can copy data to the drive as desired.
