HELP! Trying to load Highpoint drivers in fresh W2K install...out of options.

[MichaelD]

OK. When doing a fresh W2K install, it asks you for SCSI drivers ON FLOPPY. We're on the same sheet of music now, OK?

Shuttle gives you the Highpoint drivers on CDR, not floppy. So, I copied the OEM.txt and the W2K folder off the CD onto a floppy. No good. W2K takes it the first time around, but the later when it asks you to reinsert the floppy, it says "not found."

So, I went to Shuttle's site. I DL'd the latest Highpoint 372 drivers. It's zipped. I unzipped, and copied EVERYTHING onto a floppy. Still no go.

Then I even tried the old HPT 370 floppy from my Abit KT7 board. Nogo.

I keep getting the "Setup didn't find any HDs installed on your PC" message.

YES. I created the RAID 0 array from within the Hightpoint bios...help me out, please, AT.

EDIT:

I get a "File 18 caused an unexpect4ed error in F:NT......." WTF?:|

I don't know about your paticular setup, but with my K7T Turbo with raid when I update the mb bios it also sometimes updates the raid bios. When this happens I need to get the drivers to match the bios or xp won't see the drive. So if you have updated you bios and it changed the bios on your raid controller you will need to get to drivers that matches the exact bios you are using. Like I said I don't kow if this is what is happening to your particular setup or not, but it has happed to me and the *promise* raid controller on my board.

Good luck with it.

Thanks, Wil; that's an interesting and possible solution. I will definitely keep that in mind. Anyone else? Puh-leese.

You need to goto the hight point website and get the drivers that match your rqaid controller...I had the same prob with my abit hotrod 100. Then you put them fiules on a disk and there ya go all better.

 

[MichaelD]

Man, I'm confused. Bump please.

Goto the website for the raid controller. Download the drivers from them and put them on a disk with NO folders. Look in your manual for the hardware revision. There is like a zillion diff. versions out there. Setup is looking for a file that is not on the disk from the mobo maker. The abit hotrod 100 I got was the same. They do not put all the required files on the disk you need to boot from it and make it work...
