Urgently Need Help!
Dear,
I have BP6 with latest RV Bios
I had 3 40Gb HDDs now i added one more 80Gb 8MB cache HDD
the HPT366 detected properly but the problem when the WinXP starting it just not moving (the bar, I mean)
What is the problem? Is the OS need to be fresh install again or not?
Thanks
ASAP!!!

If you even do get it to to work initially, it will almost certainly screw up the drive soon after. Don't waste your time troubleshooting HPT366 problems running up to date drives. Only appropriate response is to retire it & install a Promise ATA100/133 card. You will then begin to see the drive performance you paid for.

The simple answer is that the HPT3666 is ridden with bugs. I agree with the others about Promise cards. I have one here.s1ngs1ng wrote:its working now
i took off the secondary master and it works
i don't know why ? can anyone tell me?
the sec master is 40GB maybe coz differences in size and cache size?
another one is once i put this WD 80GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache
the first HDD in Primary Master become UDMA2 only, know why?
Cheers
Did you mean the OS wouldn't start or the installation wouldn't start? If it's the latter, I've never seen that before.

ok here's a trick i learned
use a win98 boot disk.. boot with cdrom support
goto the cdrom:\i386\ folder on your winxp cd and run winnt.exe
and you should be good to go from there
it worked with both 2K and xp for me

When installing do you press F6 at the beginning to install the drivers for the controler? Im guessing you do if it gets to the point where you reboot.s1ngs1ng wrote:what i mean after install WinXP OS each time to boot up i need to put WinXP CDROM to the CDROM so that it will recognise there is an OS
You could try putting the disk on the normal ata33 controler and installing on there, then once its installed, boot into windows and setup the hpt366. Once its installed and is working properly swap the drive over to that hpt366 controler.

If you boot from floppy, load device driver(s) with F6, establish drive letter access to the CDROM, go to the directory that kuun indicated, and run WINNT.EXE, as he indicated -- all the files needed for installing O/S get copied to your hdisk in an I386 folder. After a reboot, the process continues running from the Hdisk. Any driver not already included with the Win2K/WinXP CDROM will only need to be added once using the F6 option. Once these steps are done, the O/S CDROM and device driver disk are no longer needed to boot. Those files are now fully integrated with the O/S build on the Hdisk.

s1ngs1ng: To start the OS from the Promise card you need to go into Setup and set the 1st boot device as EXT, and set EXT as SCSI.
