Here's the problem, I'm recycling an old Dell XPS200 & XPS266 system for
work usage and all worked well with the 200 including a installed DVD drive.
So I pulled the old MB and installed the XPS266 MB and the problem is
Win98Se doesn't see the DVD drive if installed on IDE 0 or IDE 1. Cables and
jumpers are correct. It's present in the BIOS on boot up. If I use the
WIN98SE recovery disk the DVD drive is present but if I run setup off the
wins98se CD it states win is required. I even tried a new DVD drive. I set
the BIOS to boot from the DVD but it bypasses it and boots from the HD. What
am I missing on getting this old system going again?
Thanks
