I have a Via Chipset MVP3 Mobo
AMD K6-2-400
The HD is primary master and is separated into 3 partitions
CDrom is primary slave

I recently installed win98 SE
After going through the hurdle of installing bus mastering drivers due to slow hd access, the cdrom stopped working
C, D, and E would be the hard drive partitions so I don't understand why the cdrom doesn't choose F as the driver letter
In explorer the cd icon shows up as driver letter G and a "phantom" F driver appears only to disappear a few seconds later
The name of G drive would turn in SYS now matter what cd was in previously and there would be no access to the cdrom

Did anyone encounter this problem, I know it has to do with via drivers for the chipset, but I need to have them or hd access would slow to a crawl

thanks
