You must be using an external hard drive device, for example an udma 100 such as Promise or Highpoint. You should of been provided a 3.5 inch disk with your mobo for this controller. As NT installs it should say press F6 if you have any SCSI devices, press F6 whack in your floppy and load off it. I belive this needs to be done twice (for each port?). Hope this helps.

I have an IBM 11 gig, it crashed after about two years and its now being sent back. I have an IBM 45 gig and a 30gig that have both been running fine. Recently I bought a 30gig Western Digital and it crashed after 2 (two) days - I'll never touch a non IBM again.

ive given up the ghost now, gone back to win98. There were a few other probs hassling me as well. General instability (couldnt do 3 x 3dmark benchmarks on the trot where as win98 did it for 24 hours in a row before i stopped it) took me 29 hours to complete a SETI unit (takes 6 in win98) and this hard drive access. Ah well sad day when I got to use this junk OS, oh well

Ive certainly not seen anyone advertising having a High Point motherboard in ultra dma 100. Part of the problem is you actually have to benchmark it to find out, I'd be really interested if someone came forward, but somehow - I doubt it.
-
to be honest i dont think its got a lot to do with RAID, more the fact that the Highpoint IDE slots dont have ultra dma 100 support in win2k. The Non Raid model would be exactly the same
-
I tried uninstalling them but didnt notice any difference at all. The reason for that would be because there only the IDE busmaster drivers not the ones for the highpoint raid. I tried getting specific highpoint drivers but there like 50k (wow thats going to do a lot) and sure enough identical performance. Lame

no probs with blue screens or my pionner dvd rom, just with the drive performance. id go back to win98 but good hdd transfers dont make a good operating system
-
my scores read sped 28000 min 5000 max 33000 avg seek time 13ms windows 98 readspeed 78000 min much higher max much higher avg seek time also 3-4ms lower
-
m8 u need to download a program called hd tach to tell you if your drives in what, you can tell by the performance data. look for a url later tell me if you cant find it.
-
is WZ the beta bios, thats the one Im already using
-
yeah it didnt fix it for me on my high point
-
Thats an identical hard drive to mine btw. And i was getting a LOT more on my old BH6 as well. As for the blue screens, I find my dvd doesnt like DMA mode either but it seems to work fine in PIO mode?? It is a 14x Pioneer though. Come on some one must be able to help us with our drives man, this sux

Argh this is just totally screwed I recently bought an abit kt7-a mobo, the one with the hot point raid. Being as ive got an ibm 46gig telesto udma 100 i wacked it in the orange port, belonging to the hotpoint. In Windows 98 everythings mint, get a score in Sandra of 25,000 and HD Tach rekons my random read speed is 80mb (the highest it goes). However a quick boot up to win2k and everything goes to pot. Sandra score down to 13,000 (halved) random read time down to 26ish. Clearly Ultra DMA is not enabled properly somewhere along the line. Ive tried loads of stuff, a reg entry from tweak3d, some windows 'hotfix' which didnt do anything. I've tried downloading the latest hotpoint drivers (not very latest at all october 2000) and the scores stay the same. Anyone got any ideas? Help and i'll love ya forever
