is there is setup.exe file on the cd, run that, or you may have to browse to the right folder for example, drivers, english, win98, disk1 or something like that
http://driverguide.com/
username -- driver
password -- all
You can search for the correct driver there if you cant get the ones off your cd to work :)

the card goes in the PCI slot, then the IDE cable goes from the card to your hard drive. As long as you have installed the drivers for the card it should see the 30 gigs. Granted if you have already formatted the drive before you installed the card then you will still only see only that part. You would have to backup your stuff and then re fdisk the drive and format it to the full capacity. Also you could try a program called Partition Magic and see if you can extend your current one without having to format. GOOD ADVICE: Backup your data first.

Why don't you just go to fdisk (in Dos) then make another partition 30 gig(or whatever is left) can't understand why you've put a card in,its '98 your using not XP.
