Setting up KT7-R . In what order do I install software?

This is a game machine for a kid. Somehow something caused the mouse and keyboard to begin to work intermittantly. Have reformated the HD and will be installing 98SE. What's the best order to install vid drivers, 4in1, raid drivers, etc. Here's the specs: Abit KT7-R, Elsa GladiacMX, SB live gamer, linksys NC, IDE hd and cdrom, scsi cd-r. Should I install the IDE hd on the raid or regular. Have no plans to use raid 0 or 1 at this time.
thanks
 
I don't have a real SCSI device but this is how I have been doing it.
format the partition to wipe it clean. Install Windows. Install 4in1. reboot. Install video and sound drive. Reboot. Install the driver for the RAID driver. I used the Ultra 100 card before and it showed as a SCSI device. This was also when I installed the driver. Then I proceed to install the DSL card driver.

I don't have an Abit but I have a MSI board. In default boot order, the IDE comes first. Although you may be able to change the order, I haven't tried to see if the mb would still search for the IDE ports. So the boot process might be faster w/ the hd attached to the IDE port. However, I problems with ATA100 hd turning out low numbers using the onboard ide port. That's why I tried the ultra100 card in a bus mastering slot. And the number became better. You might want to try both. It would be interesting to see the results. I used Sandra 2001 as a measure. The difference was like 6000 vs 22000.
 
none of that will work, first, rip the KT7 out of your system and replace it with a quality board. Then install windows, then the 4in1's, then your vid drivers/sound drivers/network drivers/modem drivers, then play an ass load of games on a motherboard that doesn't lose USB power every 15 minutes or everytime you use he network!
 
Forgot to mention, the mouse & keyboard are PS/2. When they started acting up, I tried USB versions to no avail.
