 |
|
Hi all,
I tried to install Windows XP on Abit BE6 board and had no luck so far. The
problem is HPT366 IDE controller. I had bios TH 1.25 - tried Win2K 1.25
drivers - system hangs when XP setup is trying to detect HDDs (have setup
blue screen saying "Windows is starting" and that's it). Flashed to TH
1.28 - tried drivers version 1.28 and 1.30 - still same problem.
Please help!

I've installed XP on a Highpoint 366 based controller using 1.30 XP drivers
on 1.25.1 bios with good results... I've got another one running 1.25.1
across the board...

How did you do that?
All I can do is install 98SE... It just hangs when I try to install XP or
2000.

One prepare the drivers on a floppy and during installation when it
asks for scsi drivers, one press F6, and it will look on the floppy.
For some reasons windows calls all 'external controllers' for scsi
devices, although it is IDE here.
Then the question is to find the right HPT drivers. As you mention
hpt366:
http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/driver/model/be6.php
The windows 2000 drivers will be fine for XP.

Well, some buy a promise pci ata133 controller, or a cheaper brand.
That works !
(well, I have one idea more. It asks for the floppy twice, right ? and
it destroys the floppys usability by first read. Then make 2 floppies.
I think I have seen that work. Write protection cannot work.)

Try hooking the drive up to the normal IDE channel and installing your OS.
Then install the Highpoint drivers. Shut down and move the drive to the
Highpoint channel then restart. |

the only thing about this approach is you gotta hope that the bios does not
enumerate the drives in a different order or the OS may not find the boot
path.

Should be possible to nominate the boot drive either in the mobo bios or the
HPT bios setup. |

sure, you can set the boot drive in the bios, no problem. however, what I
was referring to was that the bios, as it discovers the drives that are
attached, designates (or "enumerates") the drives with a hex notation that
the OS then uses to refer to the drives from the registry. in some cases,
when the position of the drive changes on the controllers, the enumeration
of the drive will change as well and then the OS looks for the boot device
with one designation but the device is now enumerated with a different
designation and the OS load stops with an error message.
