CPU SPECIFICATIONS LIST:
HARD DRIVE: Western Digital-WDC AC313000 (1999)
MOTHER BOARD: Abit BE6 (1998)
-Award Modular BIOS v4.51
-Pentium III SL 373 (mmx)
-Chip Set Intel R 440BX
CD ROM: Kenwood Multi Beam 42x TrueX (1999)
CD ROM: Liteon 52x (ltn 526)
NOTES: BIOS was flashed in Aug. 03 (HPT 366 BIOS v1.25)
PROBLEM: I had to REFORMAT & REPARTITION my hard drive. Prior to doing so, both CD ROM's worked. After reformat, I started my pc with the WIN98 bootdisk and chose: START WITH CD ROM SUPPORT, I get 2 error messages...
NO DRIVES FOUND-ABORTING INSTALLATION
DEVICE DRIVER NOT FOUND: 'MSCD001'
NO VALID CDROM DEVICE DRIVERS SELECTED
I have tried several bootdisk ex: win95/winME and I get same error everytime. I am not sure if my cdrom came with an installation diskette...if so, I can not find it. I downloaded what I think is the correct driver, executed the install file and it says INSTALL SUCCESSFULL. When running DIR on Hard Drive (c) I can see the files from the driver diskette I created but, my cdrom still fails.
In my original BIOS, my cdroms & hard drive are not detected. In the BIOS screen from the flash...they are all detected (does this make sense?)
Let me try to explain that again: When I boot my pc...I have the option to hit DEL to enter my BIOS, of course if I choose not to enter BIOS my cpu continues to load from bootdisk. After loading from bootdisk I see another screen called HPT 366 BIOS V.1.25 (never saw this until I flashed my BIOS) which shows my hard drive and my cdrom drives.
One more thing....both CDROMS are getting power (both lite up)
I am very stumped on why I can't get my CD ROM drivers to load...any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
