Windows 98 FDISK Acting Weird

Hi guys.

I'm trying to install Win98 SE on 2 different machines, and everytime I stumble on the same issue :

FDISK cannot see my main Hard Drive as a Fixed Disk 1

It's seen as a Fixed Disk 2 and obviously I can't make the partition bootable.

The only thing that it can see as a Primary dos partition is the actual Easy2Boot USB drive

Formatting is a no go from the Free Dos, and by forcing install on the actual Fixed Disk 2 drives, it causes crashes and neverending scanning for hardware.

 

Any solution to this?

P. S : I kinda followed the steps in James Mackenzie video on YouTube
