ASUS P5A-B driver conflict

[Rkring1]

I am building a AMD K62-400 on an ASUS P5A-B board , 96 meg PC-100 SDRAM ,ATI AGP video , Cirrus Logic pci moden , ESS 1868 sound card , Windows 98 SE .All went well (sound , AGP,etc.) until I reached installing the power managment drivers for the PCI slots.The installation software warned of possible conflict w/ CD drivers in DOS and asked me to remove them , but ....being a DOS Dummy I ignored it....a sure formula for trouble I guess , but what fun is it without a little gamble ?The end result is I can not boot into Windows now.I can get in in safe mode only .If I remove the ALI pci drivers it boots , but them refinds the drivers and there we go again , will not reboot.I am basically DOS illiterate and need instructions on how to remove the DOS CD-ROM drivers.......please.

Click on your Windows 'Start' button, then click on 'Run' then type sysedit. In the window titled c:\config.sys, delete or rem out any line that says device= that has as part of its value the notation /d:XXXXX (usually something like /d:mscd0001). Next go to the window titled c:\autoexec.bat and delete or rem out the line that contains mscdex.exe. Lastly, close the system configuration editor and ok 'save changes.' When done restart Windows.
