I have been at this all morning and most of the night prior. Heres my current set up.
Hard Drive on IDE 1
CDRW on IDE 2
I have been trying to intsall a DVDRW on an Ultra port and on boot up it sees it in the HPT 366 1.22 screen but once I get in windows it only sees my C and D drives?
I did some searches so set the seq to A,C,EXT than set EXT =DMA
but still nothing. I am also using a 80 wire 40 pin cable. I am lost though. I never have used the 66 ports since when I first got th board I remember reading on here they can cause problems but I need to now.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also have a similar problem with my Ultra 100 IDE card (now removed) it will see it on boot up but any drives I try to attach to it windows will not see.
Thanks
I finally broke down for help ULTRA

try updating the OS device drivers for the HighPoint SCSI and RAID controller (and/or maybe even your HPT BIOS).
BTW, i recently found that win2k kept trying to reinstall the old drivers no matter what i did, so i had to note the names of the oem*.inf files it was using and delete them from my system before it would finally accept my new ones.

Why don't you connect the DVD to IDE 1 or 2 as a slave device?
NB Each IDE port can serve two IDE drives, one as master, the other as slave. The jumpers on the backs of the IDE drives need to be set for master or slave.

The HPT366 controller was designed with hard drives in mind, not CDROMs.
Here's what the BP6 manual says:
The HPT366 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed mass storage. Thus, we don't suggest you connect non-disk devices that use ATA/ATAPI interfaces, such as CD-ROM to HPT366 IDE connector (IDE3 & IDE4).

I learnt the hard way that the HPT controller doesn't work well with Optical devices. When I first bought my BP6 I had a DVD-ROM installed on the HPT controller. Whenever I played movies, the movies would skip like crazy (much like a scratched CD). I switched the DVD-ROM over to the regular IDE controllers and the movies have played perfectly ever since!
