Ok first things first. Whenever your playing with Linux and Windows please have a Win 98 startup disk. It's the best thing Bill Gates ever made.
If your computer is still picking up the 2nd HDD disable it from BIOS. Then the computer can't see the HDD at all. That should fix that problem if it's still see'ing the 2nd HDD.
Ok here is why you want the Win 98 startup disk. Boot from the disk. No need for CD-ROM support apon boot. When your at a DOS prompt type 'fdisk /mbr' this will clean your mast boot record and then it should all work fine.

mkfs.minix
MKFS.MINIX(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual MKFS.MINIX(8) NAME
mkfs.minix - make a Linux MINIX filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.minix [-c|-l filename] [-n namelength] [-i inodecount] [-v] device [size-in-blocks] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX file-system on a device (usually a disk partition). The device is usually of the following form: /dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1) /dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2) /dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1) /dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2) The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omit- ted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed. OPTIONS
-c Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system. If any are found, the count is printed. -n namelength Specify the maximum length of filenames. Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30. The default is 30. Note that kernels older than 0.99p7 only accept namelength 14. -i inodecount Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem. -l filename Read the bad blocks list from filename. The file has one bad block number per line. The count of bad blocks read is printed. -v Make a Minix version 2 filesystem. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following: 0 No errors 8 Operational error 16 Usage or syntax error SEE ALSO
mkfs(8), fsck(8), reboot(8) AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.minix command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/. Util-linux 2.6 2 July 1996 MKFS.MINIX(8)
