Q: Ok, I went on my Asus A7V 98SE, an integrated Promise ATA100 IDE controller . I have two HD, one on each ATA bus, and a CD-ROM and a CD-R on the two IDE channels. All this worked fine until I tried to go to Win2K. Ive heard there were problems with the ATA100 under win2k, but it is so long you had the latest drivers and the work I update the bios. 2K after reboot my system to install, it says cannot find any HD to install . So I gave up for now 2K,
However now I cannot boot unless I have a Win2K CD into my drive and then asked whether or not to Windows98 until 2000 setup, how do I get rid of this? If I dont have the CD in the drive I get an invalid disk error. Man, this sux, help me please if you know . or know how to work with an A7V it.
Thanks, Limey: cool:

Re:I just bought one of these boards, and when i was readin thru the manual, it said to install the stuff to make the ata100 controller work, maybe when u installed 2000, somethin got jacked up on those drivers that operate the ata100 controllers? I dont know tho, juss a shot in the dark….

Re:It worked for me. Just make sure you install the promise drivers before you switch it back.

Re:So I should move my drives to the IDE cables and install, then move them back? Is that what you're saying?

Re:Limey, I really don't have anything to add to castellan's post but I do want to say that I have been running W2K on my A7V for three months now without any problems whatsoever. I have 2 drives on promise controller. IBM 30 gig as master WD 20 gig as slave on primary cable.
The first time I installed 2000 I put drives on the ata66 and installed both os's. and installed the drivers for the promise controller then changed ribbon to the promise controller. This worked fine for me. I just done a reinstall a month ago and did like castellan said and worked that way also.
The only thing I can think of right now is you installed the latest bios it has an option to turn off the promise controller. make sure it is on.

Re:Yeah I did that, had them on a floppy and everything, it said it had loaded promise controllers for Windows2000, but then when win 2k says.. Startin Windows2000, and boots into the blue loader screen, it gives a stop error, says error accessing drive. and I should check for viruses etc…

Re:The problem is that 2k isnt seeing the diskes on the raid controller. You need to load the drivers for the raid controller when 2k setup starts (when it prompts you if you have additional devices).
