Not sure if it will actually work out, but will check that today.

Boot sequence set to HDD first, CD-ROM second.
Primary Master HDD set to autodetect.
Primary Slave fixed.

The HDD socket is connected to the Primary IDE cable, with the drive set as Master. The '98 drive is set as Slave.

DOS HDD is FAT-16 and installed with DOS 6.2 or 7.1 (have yet to decide on that).
Windows HDD is FAT-32 and thus will not be seen by DOS at all.

When both HD's are inserted, the computer will read the DOS drive first and boot from it.
When the DOS drive is out, the computer will only read the '98 drive and boot Windows.
Pretty simple, we'll see how it is going to work out.
