If these are all IDE devices, I'd say it sounds like a bad IDE controller.
You might try clearing CMOS settings a few times to make sure nothing funky
is hanging out there. But out of curiosity, what specific make and model
number of power supply is running this? -Dave

Well I'm no expert, but could it possibly be faulty memory chips? How many
sticks of ram do you have installed? If more than one, can you try them
independently?

Pull power cord out and find and use the Clear CMOS jumper.You cannot
fully clear the CMOS on ATX powered systems with power to the board.

If no good then for now you can download and burn this CDR/W ISO of a
win98 floppy and use it as a floppy and install win98,
