I'm having a little trouble getting my Ultra100 working properly. It seems that my computer freezes whenever I attempt to access a drive attached to the controller card. I have tried the following, none of which fixed the problem:
Upgrading to the latest drivers for the Ultra100
Flashing the bios on the Ultra100 to the latest version
Upgrading from SP2 to SP3
Trying the card in 4 different pci slots
Assigning the card various irqs in the bios
Flashing my motherboard bios
Installing Windows XP
I've also basically tried every possible configuration of devices: Maxtor drive on ide card, Western digital drive on ide card, DVD drive on ide card, CD burner on ide card. Regardless of the device, whenever I start reading data off of it my computer freezes.
At this point I started thinking it was just a bad card, but oddly enough I gave it to a friend to try and it worked perfectly for him. I can't think of anything else to try, does anyone have any possible suggestions?
