Hello,

Just did a reformat + reinstall Win98
Anyway now my Sys has probs with an IRQ.
My CDROM is on Secondary IDE Controller and i cant access it.

This is error i get under My Comp..Device manager;

the Device is using an IRQ Resource that is in use by another devuceand cannot be shared.
U must change conflicting setting or remove the real mode driver causing the conflict. Code 30.

How do i do this.????
In BIOS maybe.
System;
Pentium II 450
Abit VA6
96MB
V3 3k Agp
 
You have a real-mode (DOS) CDROM driver loading from your config.sys/autoexec.bat, and interfering with Windows' protected-mode (32-bit) driver. To remove it:
- Start -> Run... -> "sysedit"
- in config.sys, find all lines similar to "device=c:\cdrom\oakcdrom.sys", and REM them out, like this: "rem device=c:\cdrom\oakcdrom.sys"
- in autoexec.bat, find all lines mentioning "mscdex", and rem them out in the same manner
- reboot
