ok, go into the kt7 bios and set the udma to disable on the ide controllers ...then go into win2k and set them as udma in the device manager. then reboot. worked for me.

I have a KT7-Raid with a 900tbird@1100(10*110) and Scisoft says my PCI bus is at 55mhz-Ive learned to ignore a lot of the Scisoft info-it also says my CPU voltage is .05-they have a lot of bugs to work out
