When the HPT366 BIOS comes up, do you see hard drive(s) list on this BIOS page?

Don't know if the HPT366 will "see" the Zip. You may have to use the ZIP on the regular IDE controller. And as InactiveX says, in order to access the HPT366 BIOS, a hard drive has to be connected to the HPT366 controller.

It is tricky to get into the HPT BIOS. You need to have good reflexes and press CTRL + H really quickly when the blue screen first shows.

Just do what I do, mash the hot keys until you're in! :)
