The System
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Processor
Motherboard - ASUS P5W DH Deluxe
DDR 2 Memory - 4GB Corsair XMS2 Dual Channel DDR2-800 (4x1GB)
Video Card(s) - 512MB eVGA NVIDIA GeForce 7600GS PCI Express
Hard Drive (2)- 500GB Western Digital Caviar 7,200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive in RAID 0 config.

I am having difficulty installing the last two devices IDE ATA/100 - 160 MB HD (Maxtor) and Iomega Zip-250MB drive in this sytem. I am using the additional IDE port at the far end of the motherboard, powered by the JMicron chip (black connector) to install the two devices (Master/Slave)

Zip-250MB installation - During Boot up, the system recognise the Zip drive in "GREEN TEXT" The Bios shows the zip drive in the boot menu, however during boot into WinXP PRO-SP2, I get JMicorn Error (wants to report to Microsoft server), but the zip drive is now useable and can be used in windows to copy and paste files from zip to HD.

I need to know how to configure the JMicron Controller settings to get rid of the Jmicron error message? and why the heck "green text"?

Maxtor HD - 160MB - Same issue, but Aqua color text :)

I have tried installing the drive one at a time, but still the same error.

Any help would be appreciated, to get these devices working without error messages.

Thanks
Simon
