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

Was running an AP news scraper that needed to be fast and invisible, kept getting 403s no matter what I tried. click Saw this linked in a Python scraping subreddit when someone asked which residential proxy actually works for news sites. The anti-detection scores in the benchmark are based on real testing against protected targets, not hypotheticals. For USA news outlets specifically, one provider scored almost perfectly while others triggered blocks constantly. Made the switch and my 403 rate went from 60 percent to under 2 percent. My news pipeline finally runs uninterrupted and I am collecting complete datasets. The site-specific test results are pure gold for anyone targeting particular domains.
