I'm running FIC VC31 mobo, P4, 30gig, 256meg on Windows 98SE. After uninstalling Power DVD the comp crashed. After reboot message appears Autoexec.bat renamed Autoexec.ide and Configsys renamed Config.ide and I cannot access either unit. Device Manager says I have the best drivers installed and the units are working properly, but in the Setting tab the 'current drive letter assignment' is blank and greyed out. Can anyone give me info to get these units up and running again
 
Try running System File Checker and see if the uninstall destroyed or damaged any system files.

How do I run the system file checker in Windows 98se. I am experiencing the same problem more or less, the cd-rom works like a champ on the Toshiba DVD-Rom (SD-M1712), but when I go to play a DVD, it states 'cann't find any cdrom/dvdrom device.' Please help.
