I have upgraded a computer with a ABIT SG-81 Motherboard. But, I have a problem (among many) that is driving me nuts. Yet the biggest one is - I can't get Windows 98 to notice the CD and DVD drives. Even tho it did when first booted up after installing. And the drives are listed in the BIOS...

I've read a lot about how to set this mobo up in RAID configuration, and I've done so on my working Asus machine (which I'm writing this on) so it isn't like I'm a newbie.

My system will not boot anymore and I am getting a sequence as follows: 83 - 96 - 9E (for a slit second)-9F on the post code definition display on the mobo. When it hits 9E it has shutdown and reads 9F when totally powered off. I have read on other newsgroups that the power supply might be at...
