Maybe if you inserted some commas (not to mention check the spelling), we'd be able to understand what you're talking about? :-)

Cheers,

to solve the stop error i installed a promise ide ata66 pci controller card. i attached a hard drive to it and removed all hd`s connected to the high point controller on the mother board i installed
winxp after it was up and running i went into device mgr and the mass storage controller was yellow flagged i uninstalled it then used the hardware wizard to detect new hardware when prompted for drivers i put in a floppy with the highpoint 366 drivers on it i ignored the compatibility warning and it loaded the drivers after rebooting the system recognized the controller i reattached hard drives to the high point controller and they were recognized

look please keep the smart *** comments to yourself. He asked a good question, and seeked out answers, I know I'm not the best typer or have the best spelling and use of english sentence structure, but give the guy a break. You steer people away like that. Sorry, but can the admin's just erase what he wrote? and erase what i wrote after that.
