Try installing windows setup files and the hpt drivers on the hd using the ata33 controller. Switch it over to the hpt controller and boot up using the startup floppy. Make sure the hpt controller is in a pci slot that is not shared.

Is this a promise controller card or a high point controller card? Your title says one thing, but your post is about another.
