I have this old computer to which I just restored Windows 98 from the HP
restore disks.  I think it is NOT Second Edition, since it says Microsoft

I put a new 80GB WD UDMA-5 hard drive into my old Intel 430TX UDMA-2 chipset
board and am running Windows 98SE.  The DMA checkbox (in Device Manager)  in
