yakkob 0 Posted March 13, 2001 I have a bp6, dual cellys 433 (not o/c), 384 MB Ram, the rest is not essential. I have 3 HD's in this machine 1 udma33 HD,1 ata66, and 1 ata100. The ata66 is on normal EIDE, as is the udma33 HD, a dvd, and a cdrom. The ata100 is being controlled using highpoint controllers 1.25 The BP6 only supports ata66, but this HD has been happily running .....until yesterday I booted up and it took 45 mins to come up, reporting a bad block on bootup. Files I had dl'd the night had crc erros. I decided to clean down, and format . Event Viewer: The driver has detected that \devicescsi\HPT366I has old or out-of-date firmware. Reduced performance may result. This leads me tyo believe that the hpt drivers are dodgy, so, I reinsdtalled them. No joy Another thing, (don't know if its related, but all my fonts on webpages have gone large) a) will running an ata100 @ ata66 ruin the HD? Can anyone shed some light on the above?
