I am running the Abit KT7-RAID in my system, and am having a bit of trouble getting the Highpoint controller to work. I'm using an IBM 75GXP 45GB drive and want to run it off of the Highpoint ATA-100 controller, so I installed Windows with my HDD off of the ATA-66 controller on the board, and it worked fine. I then installed the drivers onto Windows 2000 for the Highpoint controller, turned off the system, and hooked the HDD into the Highpoint. But, it would not let me boot into Windows, period. I tried the other IDE channel on the Highpointwith no luck. Plugged it back into one of the other ATA-66 channels, and it works.
Hrm..
So, I check to see if the driver is still installed for the Highpoint within Windows. Yep, it's there, showing up. I then go into the BIOS configuration utility for the Highpoint, and my hard drive is showing up fine in there - but I still can't boot off of the Highpoint, either channel.
I'm guessing it's a bad controller for the Highpoint on my motherboard. If anybody has any tips or recommendations please let me know.
