Has anyone been successful in running a Promise Ultra 133 TX2 card (I have one bundled with a 160GB Maxtor Hard Drive) on the ASUS P4P800 Motherboard?
I am able to install the card and get it to be recognized by Windows XP as long as there is no drive connected to it. As soon as I connect a Hard Drive to it, Windows XP does not start up. I just get a blank dark screen like it is waiting for something. The card recognizes the drive during the bootup process before Windows starts. The boot sequence is correct with the boot drive on the primary onboard IDE controller listed before the Ultra card.
Any idea what I should be doing to get Windows XP to see the card? Should I change anything in the BIOS. Everything in the BIOS is at the default value - Onboard IDE Operate Mode on [Enhanced Mode], Enhanced Mode Support On on [SATA], IDE Detect Time Out at [35], and 32 Bit Data Transfer [Disabled].
Thanks!
