OK on the conflicts side try going into device manager and deleting all the main IDE entires.

Then let Windows refind them by doing a search for new devices.

In theory at least windows should sort out the conflict. (worth a try anyway.)

The other problem may be linked to needing updated drivers for the main mobo itself so that the devices like IDE (and all others on the mobo) are being correctly identified and appropriate drivers loaded.

The weird bit is the way DOS is not seeing the drive as this points to a hardware problem perhaps caused by the particular combination of which IDE channels and master/slave assignments are being used. So it may be worth doing a bit of musical chairs with the drives making sure that you make the appropriate changes to any jumper settings on the drives themselves.
