i have a plextor Px716A cd/dvd drive. I'm having problems with the
initial setup install for win98se.

the installation of win98se was supposed to be installed to a scsi hard
drive (C, however, computer isn't seeing the Plextor drive as E:. so,
I can't get the install going. it worked fine under OS/2.

the generic drivers should have worked, but it didn't.

the scsi controller card is Tekram DC390U3W

any ideas on how to fix this?
