Under Windows 2k Pro, my cd drives decide to disappear due to not enough power or being disconnected (Windows 2k tells me when they get disconnected thru a pop-up). I have no clue why it does this, they still show up in Windows 98. I figure it may be my 300 watt antec psu. I have 3 case fans, one slot fan, one hard drive, dvd drive, cd-rw drive, Leadtek GF2 Pro, and an Epox 9k7a motherboard with an Athlon 1.2ghz. Could i be under enough wattage since AMDs need 300watts minimum? Any help would be great, thanks.
