i haven't had any problems with multiple hard drives. if you're installing the OS onto the OTHER hard drive (the one WITHOUT all your resources, files, MP3s), there's no way XP is going to format a drive you don't tell it to.
by the way - as long as your motherboard isn't ancient, you can boot from the XP CD and do a clean install without first having to install Win98. even if you can't set a CD-ROM as a boot device, you can use a boot disk from a floppy to give you CD-ROM support, and run the XP setup then.
also, I've had problems with Maxtor. crappy drives.
it was most likely the virus that f**ked your other hard drive, wouldn't you think? you said you had a virus.
