Dvd + Highpoint 366 + Win2k?

[Toku]

Does anyone have a dvd player working on a highpoint 366 under windows 2000? Mine is detected as a SCSI cdrom and refuses to have a region code so it can't play movies. Are there any hacks out to get this working?

Ok, let me rephrase that
Has anyone had a DVD player NOT work with the hpt366 and win2k?

Try installing the 4.29 4-in-1's

If I had a VIA chipset, I'd do it. I should have probably given a bit more info on my system: BP6, dual celeron, broken on-chip Secondary IDE controller, broken HPT366 primary controller... for some reason my chipsets are slowly dying.

Thanks for the reply though!

Some of the older 4-in-1's would cause optical devices to be detected as SCSI, so that's what I based my reply on. Your motherboard looks like it is on it's last leg.

Have you tried other highpoint drivers?

I'm running either the 1.28 beta drivers now or the 1.25 full issue drivers. I'm in the middle of ensuring I have the 1.25 drivers installed, and once I'm done with that I'll see if it magically works.

The motherboard has been on its last leg for ages now, and up until recently was crashing constantly. Fixed that by repairing my OS installation, so now it's at least stable even if my DVD player refuses to work.

Still eyeing a KT133A setup though... if only they were hiring college students for summer tech jobs around here

Again, thanks for your help
