Hey Guys,

Just wondered if anyone had this problem. I have a p4c800-e board and I installed xp but I can't seem to put in the drivers for the promise fasttrak 378 chip. I tried the drivers from the CD and from the website but everytime in the windows device manager there is a yellow ! and saying the device isn't working. This should be simple... upgrade drivers... what gives??

I guess part 2 is I wanted to know if this is possible. I basically want to attach 5 HD's and 1 cdrom on this board. All the HD's are of different sizes and I don't want RAID. I've attached 4 IDE devices on the primary and secondary ports on the MOBO and the last 2 HD's on the raid IDE slot. In the Bios, I've set the promise controller to ON and the setting to IDE instead of raid. Is this possible? Do I have to have raid on that final promise IDE port?

Much thanks,

Spot
