Here is my spec;

Abit KT7 Raid
Duronn 600 @ 1G
512MB Crucial Sdram
3D Prophet II GTS 64MB
2 IBM 30 GB Deskstar 75GXP running Raid 0
Netgear FA310TX ethernet card
Pioneer DVD 105 in IDE#1 as Master
Plextor 12/10/32A in IDE#2 as Master
SB Live Platinum 5.1

Without the SB, Win98 recognize the Plextor. With the SB and "ONLY" install the windows driver, Win98 recognize the Plextor. But if I installed any other software comes with the SB Live installation CD, Win98 won't recognize the Plextor!!! I tried to move the SB to every PCI slot, all have the same result.

Does anyone have the same experience, how did you solve the problem?
Please help me!!!

Same problem here with my TDK VelocCD (Plex) and SBLive Value.
I've been running it on the Promise ATA100 controller to get around the problem for the last 3 weeks. (A7V mobo)
This morning I wiped my hard drive and did a fresh install of Win 98. The TDK drive was there in Explorer until I installed Liveware 3. Then it vanished!
I uninstalled the Creative software but left the drivers and now it's OK.
Guess I'll have to fire off some email to both and see if they can work out the conflict.
