Hello,

I just built a system using an Abit KT7-Raid mother board.

I was able to get windows 98 loaded.
But now at boot it gets to the BIOS drive scan and it says that there are no drives present.

The CMOS identifies both my WD Hard drive and my 52X Samsung CDROM drive. The Floppy is working fine.
It's set to boot floppy first then to boot to the HD.

Please help.... I don't understand what the deal is about 5 out of six boots it doesn't detect it then sometimes it does.

Do I need to get new rebinds or update my BIOS?
Is my mother board bad? I know I didn't zap it.

Help!

Nicole
