Yes, 

Running DOS - cd\C: or cd\D: works
Running Win2K - Drive-C and Drive-D both are visible

Yes.
There are 2 slots on the Controller and each drive is connected to each
one slot separately.  Do you mean hda and hdc representing each drive? 
Why hdb is missing?

Noted with thanks

After selecting "Automatically partition" and click "Next" following
page popup

1. Remove all Linux partitions on this system
2. Remove all partitions on this system
3. keep all partitions and use existing free space

(already checked automatically) hda 378173 MB Maxtor
(already checked automatically) hdc 378173 MB Maxtor

- Review (and modify if needed) the partition created

I check point-1 above as well as last point (Review (and modify if
needed) the partition created)

(Remark: the capacity of each drive is 40G)

Furthermore can I use RH9.0 CD#1 to check the drives after booting up. 
If YES, how to do it?  Thanks in advance.

B.R.
