Im building a new system - Here are the specs to give you an idea what im working with: AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz, Soyo Dragon Plus motherboard, 60gb maxtor hd, 256mb ddr ram, geforce2 mx400 agp card, Sony 16x10x40x burner, and i want to install a creative labs soundblaster live card eventually but that deals with part of my problem so let me explain. I put the system all together. The cdrw drive is set as slave on the primary ide channel and I can get windows and all the drivers for the motherboard, graphics card, and all that basic stuff installed. But after I have the basic system set up, I cant use the cdrom extensively without the system totally locking up. ex. When im trying to install the software for the Soundblaster card or in one instance when i was updating to win98 se in which totally screwed up the whole thing and I had to reformat. I'm thinking its a conflict that this sony burner is having with the system because it didnt come with any special drivers nor did it ask for any, but I have no idea what to do.
