Correct, I am using the compatibility mode to compensate for the lack of drivers. Honestly I'm quite suprised that I was able to load Win98 with only minor issues seeing the lack of drives, and just had to get around the MaxPageFile issue. I have a WinXP/Win98 dual boot setup, and a 2nd copy of WinXP on the same HDD as Win98 to do the necessary config file tweaks instead of trying to edit the files in DOS. I am using a Radeon 9200 SE in my PCI slot for my graphics card, since there definitly aren't drivers for my Radeon 5830's. Am having issues, as the DVI connection on the 9200 isn't working (9200 and 5830 both DVI-I) even though the DVI port works on the 5830 using basic Win98 software drivers.

Yes, running 3 SATA drves: a SSD, 2 HDDs, and a DVD-ROM The SATA DVD-ROM worked for about a day in compatibility mode before refusing to read any disks in Win98. Have a IDE CD-ROM on order to fix this, as the P5E has an IDE port which makes things easy.

New to this board and wanted to add my P5E to this list. I have Win 98 working on this board in IDE compatibility mode.

Stumbled across this forum while working through some issues on my Win 98 install...glad to be here and learn from everyone. John
