i'm already using ru bios without the hpt (speeds up booting)
but it keeps being detected :( so i'm thinking of removing the complete chip. that should solve the problem :twisted:
anybody try'd that before :?:

i don't want to share a irq on pci 3 if you wonder why ... my bp6 is going to hold 3* promise ultra100 tx2 cards (6*80G wd's doing raid5)

yeah 6times i use the master (if it's going to work) ,the slaves i want to fill with 120G or 160G models (already got the 80G's)

just lost about 130G .. one 80G died (raid0) RIP :(
What do you mean by "keeps being detected"? Do you mean the blue HPT BIOS screen still appears when booting?

Wow, that's a lot of space :shock:

and yeah al lot of space .. it keeps filling up :oops: .. i also have to figure out what the DEL button is for .. but that is not related i think :)
Yeah, the HPT will always be on the IRQ list. I'm not sure physically removing it would be a hot idea as other crucial lines may pass through it :umm:

hmm

we may want to look into that, and see if there is anyway to jumper things after the chip is removed ?

I once installed win2k server, applied drivers for the hpt controller, then id restart.....i could logon to the machine, but it would logout me out swiftly, i couldnt logon remotely, locally with any user accounts, or system accounts
all because i loaded that driver
=(

you're lucky

mine wouldn't go anyfurther than the "establishing network connections" and stay there >:|

nothing i could do but go into safe mode, delete the blasted POS, when it tried to detect it, i made windows install a driver for some sound card, it had a fit, i disabled it and im good to go :)

now it sits in my device manager as "other devices" as "mass storage controller" and one in "SCSI?" i think as the same thing

:) problem solved

On Win2K Server? I loaded the HPT366 driver (1.25.1) on Windows Server 2003. No problems.
