pr-man 1 Posted March 18, 2001 I have the needed udma-66 cable but I see that there are win2k drivers for udma-66 on abits website. Do I need those? If so it seems the download links for everything at abits site lead nowhere. any ideas? ------------------ Celeron II 566@952 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 192 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98SE Share this post Link to post
Busby 0 Posted March 18, 2001 www.highpoint-tech.com Download the drivers there. Put them on a disk, not in any sub folders. When you start Win2k setup press F6 to install third party SCSI or RAID drivers(you will see a notice at bottom of screen). Specify the drivers twice. It's the HPT366 drivers that you need, I believe. [This message has been edited by Busby (edited 18 March 2001).] Share this post Link to post
Wolf87 0 Posted March 19, 2001 Copy this in Notepad and name it ATA66.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000] "EnableUDMA66"=dword:00000001 Windows 2000 installs with Ata66 deactivated by default. This will insert proper Dword for activation. Check if you brand name drive Website if a program is provided to activate your hard disk to Ata66. Share this post Link to post
Wolf87 0 Posted March 19, 2001 Of course choose the proper controller that holds your hard disk: 0000 or 0001 etc. Share this post Link to post

Busby 0 Posted March 19, 2001 Don't worry about activiating stuff, as it is/should be alreayd activated. Simply goto www.highpoint-tech.com and download the win2k Drivers for the HPT366. It will work if you install those drivers, trust me. I have the same mobo. Share this post Link to post
