XP/Win98 Hard Drive Issue?

I'm trying to build three windows 98 client computers. I have three
different HD's from 20 GB to 250GB, all of which used to run XP's.
However, I can't install Windows 98 on them because they all give me HD
writing errors when beginning to install. It isn't even recognized as
c: when booted from Win98 setup disk. If the HD's are dead, I would
understand....but HD's aren't dead...they all run fine when used as a
slave drive on a XP machine. I've tried getting the clean utility to
overwrite the entire HD with 0's, FDISKed them to create primary DOS
partition, and formatted them with FAT32 using Partition Magic, but
no matter what I try to do, same thing on all three HD's. Is there
something I'm missing here?
Grativo
