I'm new to Windows 2000, love it so far but I'm having some difficulties with my ATA-66 controllers. I'm using an ASUS BE6(rev2) which has integrated High-Point ATA-66 controllers. They have both been assigned to IRQ-11. Win2k is loaded on one of the ATA-66 drives and I have all of my games and aplications on the a different physical drive that uses the other ATA-66 controller. Anytime I try to transfer files between the two drives or start and application I get a blue screen saying that the IRQ is equal to or less than....next time it does it ill try to write it down. Do I need to change IRQ's. If so which should I choose? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!! ------------------ Copphure copphure@hotmail.com

Another question..this Intel IDE Busmaster issue. I thought I found it in system hardware but it was for my cd drives. Where exactly do I need to look to disable it? ------------------ Copphure copphure@hotmail.com

Ok, none of what I'm doing worked. I can now duplicate the problem everytime, so I guess I'm getting things narrowed down. The message I'm getting on the bluescreen is "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL" and then lists the hpt366.sys. What is most perplexing to me is that both hdd's, drivers and controllers are identical. Oh well, I guess I'll keep reading. ------------------ Copphure copphure@hotmail.com

Hey guys, thanks for all of the responses. So far I have reloaded the drivers, reformatted the suspect hdd and now I'm looking into the Intel IDE Busmaster thing. I've just disabled it....hopefully this works!! ------------------ Copphure copphure@hotmail.com

Ok, I have more info now. I've gone to computer management/system tools/event viewer/system.....and i see errors generated by IPNATHLP and the event is 32003.....Which if you read has a listed as the last item as a IRQ conflict;. I know this has to be an easy fix. Someone please post a fix. Thanks! ------------------ Copphure copphure@hotmail.com
