MidKnight 0 Posted August 11, 2000 Hello I am having a serious problem with my machine, the problem is that am having allot of trouble copying/moving data from one partition to another. Everytime I do it, the system takes about 2-5 seconds before I get a blue screen, on this screen, the first line contains allot of numbers, the second line say's F081A7BE Base at F0818000 DateStamp 38E5D939 - HPT366.sys (I think that is pretty correct, as it is very quick before some other writing then almost straight away the systems reboots) If I let the system reboot, it will hang not long after the DMA card loads, so the only way the boot the machine after this crash is to power it down, and power it back on again. The strange thing is, I run 3 HDD, if I copy/move data from other drives all is ok *so far*, so I think it has only to do with drive number 1, which is my bootdrive (check system Spec's) Below is an event log that will show you all the errors this card is giving on drive 1, which I might add, this drive is only about 2 weeks old. I have the very latest drivers, and I have reinstalled the drivers, but nothing seems to work, can you please help.

ByronT 0 Posted August 11, 2000 First, it would be really nice if you would edit your message to only show the non-duplicate event log errors. You could put the number of times that the event showed up in parantheses beside the actual error. Example, (20X). Second, your computer is stating that the HighPoint controller has an old/out of date BIOS - have you updated this to the latest release. Third, I would check the firmware of that first Quantumm drive to make sure that it is up to date, also. I really can't help you past that, since the Promise Ultra66, and Ultra100 adapters that I use/used have given me absolutely no grief and only great performance. HTH. ------------------ J.

BladeRunner 0 Posted August 11, 2000 Just as a follow up to the above post. The latest version of the BIOS for your controller card is 1.25, the latest Win2k drivers are also 1.25. I have an ABit BE6-II motherboard with this controller integrated, running 2 IBM drives (One of each chanel) and I can honestly say I have had no problems at all with this controller. Check the BIOS on the controller and as the guy above said, the Firmware on your HD. Win2000 is very very picky about Firmware. ------------------ PIII 650 Coppermine, ABit BE6-II, 640MB PC100 RAM (Hyundai), Matrox G400MAX, SB Live!

MidKnight 0 Posted August 11, 2000 I have the lastest drivers installed for this card, and i just flashed the BIOS of the DMA card 5 minutes ago, and still no luck. I checked the Quantum site looking for firmware updates, but couldn't find anything there. If anyone knows where abouts i can find the firmware updates for the Quantum LM, CX and CR series HDD, could you send them in please, i would be very greatfull. Sorry about posting in such a long post too, i actually didn't relise it was that long. Thanks Share this post Link to post
SHS 0 Posted August 11, 2000 Frist Thur this junk out out HighPoint Technology UltraDMA 66 HPT366 Host SCSI Controller & get a Real IDE Controller Promise Ultra66 Share this post Link to post
Battleship 0 Posted August 11, 2000 I have the ABIT BE6 v1. which uses the hpt366 ATA66 controller teamed up with a 20.5G Quantum LM. I upgraded the the motherboard bios which of course also upgrades the ATA66 controller to v 1.25. I also upgraded the Win2k drivers to 1.25. Had major problems right after that with Win2k, I would get hpt366.sys blue screens. Had to re-install and guess what. Couldnt even get Win2k back on. I had missing file error messages and Blue screens on install. Nothing at all wrong with the original Win2k Pro CD. I had to switch over to ATA33 port to get it to work. This is a problematic ATA66 controller. It seems whatever Abit or Highpoint do to fix it makes it worse. For the record right now I am using Win98SE (arghh!) and have no probs. I payed for ATA66 and I want to use it. When I get more time I will figure out for sure what is wrong. Share this post Link to post
BladeRunner 0 Posted August 12, 2000 I don't see what all the fuss is with the Highpoint controllers. As I stated higher up I have had no problems what so ever with this integrated controller - hay maybe I've just been lucky. Hardly a great response to the guy 'Rip out your controller and buy another one' OK so the Promise controllers are the industry leaders on ATA-66, but that doesn't automatically mean you should rip out any other make. Adaptec are the industry leaders on SCSI cards, doesn't mean I immediately tell people to rip their Diamond SCSI cards out. ------------------ PIII 650 Coppermine, ABit BE6-II, 640MB PC100 RAM (Hyundai), Matrox G400MAX, SB Live!

euankirkhope 0 Posted August 13, 2000 This may sound silly, but check your 80-pin cable has no chinks (sharp bends), and is installed the correct way. long bit to motherboard (usually blue), grey middle connector (master), short gap to black connector (secondary). Share this post Link to post
