Hej guys i want to upgrade to win2k. But win2k can't find my 2 hd's(not raid) connected on the highpoint 370 controller. When i enter setup i press F6 to load the drivers. i tried all highpoint drivers and each time it says DRIVERS IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
what is this and how can i install win2k on my KT7 system?. Thnx

Bye

yeah wich drivers version is the best too use
must i flash the bios of the controller too??

I need help🙁

 
i still have win98 se installed (i want to format that partition during the installation
is it smart to format the partition first and then install win2k?
 
Highpoint and win2k don't mix well. You should fire up an email to Abit, or even better, to Highpoint.
 
I had a similar problem with NT4 and spent many hours trying to make it work; I finally had to connect the HD to one of the standard IDE ports, install NT, once everything was up and running (SP6, etc) added the drivers for the hp370, moved the drive back to the hp370 controller, and it's been fine since then. The documentation is contradictory, since the readme file for the drivers indicated that NT had to be installed prior to installing the drivers for the hp370, but the KT7 manual indicates to press F6, etc.

I hope this helps.
 
You gotta be kidding me right?. I mean i didn't encounter any prob like mine on whole anandtech forums (wich is HUGE). Do you mean i am the only one with this problem there gotta be more any one else with kt7 managed too install win2k right?
 
Insane, did ya try the install without the MX300. If this is like the sblive it takes 2 IRQ's which may be an issue for the highpoint.
 
#1 ) Do NOT use the drivers that came with the board... the only one's I got to work were the latest ones from Highpoint's website

#2 ) I did as previously mentioned, setup the OS on the regular controller, installed drivers, then moved the plugs.
