Response doesn't quote post referred to, perhaps an old post. Questions:

> MAKE SURE HARD DISK DRIVE TYPE IS SET TO "Auto"

On hard drive? I haven't seen that.

> Make sure the IDE cable(s) are inserted all the way AND NOT REVERSED!

I haven't heard of a hard drive cable having the possibility of being
reversed.

> Under PCI configuration, make sure "Resources controlled by" is set to
"Auto" .

"PCI Bus", System Devices, Device Mgr, Win98?

> Also under PCI configuration, make sure "Reset configuration data" is
Disabled" .

Where, Win98?
