problems installing sb live platinum drivers

Subject: Problems when re-installing windows me

Hello all,

I just recently did a reformat to my c: drive and began re-installing windows me. Everything goes well until I go to reinstall the software for my creative labs live platinum sound card. Once I do this, from control panel/system/device manager, the following problems arise:

1) i get "red x's" over both my cd-burner and dvd-rom drives
it says this is happening because primary ide controller (dual fifo) has been dynamically disabled

2)under hard disk controllers....both primary and secondary ide controllers (dual fifo) have the "yellow exlamation points" next to them....the error messages says..."this device cannot work properly until your computer is restarted"....when when i do that ...it just restarts over and over and over

Like I said, the reinstall goes fine until i install the drivers for my creative labs product (which are from the factory cd)

I REALLY NEED SOME HELP!!!!!!

THANKS

thanks for getting back to me...i hate to sound like a novice..but where would i check for the channel conflict?

thanks again
