I have an existing dual boot PC. System commander handles the multiple
95..98...NT4 boot all of which are located on their own partitions.

I had NT Workstation installed but have decided to install NT SERVER on a
NTFS partition.
This PC has three EIDE hard drives and a Mitsumi CD ROM on the primary and
Secondary on board controllers.I also have a old SB16 sound card with a
on-board CD Controller that I use for a Sanyo 4 speed CD ROM drive..works
great. This was working fine in all operating systems however once I
installed SERVER the new install does not see the CD drive. It sees and has
installed the Sound blaster controller on IRQ 11 using NT drivers....just
like in workstation only this time without a device. The Soundblaster
drivers are installed. ...Everything is working correctly..but no Sanyo CD ROM.

It can not be the hardware because it works fine when I boot the other OS's
and was working OK in NTWKS a few hours ago. It must be a configuration
problem but what ? There are ample IRQs available and I don't see any
conflicts in NT Diagnostics.

Anybody have any ideas ? ?

thanks
