Anyone have problems installing win2k using the promise controller on this board? I built three systems for my friends and each with an A7V133, Duron 800, and Maxtor 7200rpm ATA100 30gb drives. The first time I installed it went absolutely fine and then any other time I tried to install (same cd) I got errors in the file copy process that would come up and say various files were corrupted or could not be found. I never tried switching to the VIA controller, could that be my problem. Oh, and yes I pressed F6 at the start to install the drivers for the promise controller and I have tried installing off the HD, still no difference. Thanks!

BTW, I've heard different things, can the VIA controller handle ata100?
