Shuttle SB61G2 V2 bios upgrade to fb61s03e.bin - problems

I bought Shuttle SB61G2 V2 few weeks ago.
Installed :

Setup A:

- Pentium 4 2.80C Ghz Northwood (130 nm) - CPU Revision 1B
- installed CD-DVD combo
- installed Windows98 first partition
- installed Windows2000 second partition
Watched DVD movies on Windows98, happy for a week.

Then I thought to upgrade my BIOS from :

http://www.shuttle.com/hq/support/download/dwn2.asp?model=SB61G2

upgraded BIOS to fb61s03e.bin - SB61G2 (FB61V1.x,V2.x) , 6/17/2004
( Factory installed had a date xx/xx/2003 which I did not take a
backup - mistake - which woked well in my above setup A.)

After flashing the BIOS fb61s03e.bin from shuttle site, now Windows98
does not recognize my CD ROM when boot up.

I also deleted Windows2000, when re-installing now Windows2000 Halts
on re-boot.

Shuttle has intel-865G chipset - is this a Intel-865 microcode update
issue?
Since factory installed (older) BIOS worked , I want to get the old
BIOS but I do not know how. ( Cleared CMOS setting (JP1) to get
factory -set but it loads June-2004 version of BIOS which has the same
problem).

Now Windows98 boots but does not recognize CD,
Unable to install W2k - halts on reboot

- I know my hardware is ok since I checked by installing SUSE LINUX
9.1 - it works - CD-is recognized.

But I need Windows98 and Windows2000 to work correctly. Any help or
suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks, -Reader
