I'm having the very same problem. I'm MCSE, and I can tell you that there is no problem formatting on the UDMA 33 or 66 controller. That's ludicrous, UDMA 66 is fully backwards compatible with UDMA 33. With that said, I have an ABit BE6 with a Western Digital Expert/66 13.6GB Drive. I've installed the newest Win2K Highpoint 366 drivers for the 66 controllers on the board, but no go. No flags on the controllers in Win2K after installing the new drivers, it just simply doesn't work. My hard drive light does a little dance, and the machine does nothing. If I put the drive on the UDMA 33 controller, works fine. This must be a compatibility issue with the 13.6GB WD, BE6 and Win2K. I have noticed that there is a new flash for the BIOS on the Mobo. I'm going to try that tonight to see if that fixes the glich. I'll keep y'all posted.
