I,m having problems installing XP with my Maxtor 15gig HD 7500UDMA66 onto my ABit BE6 motherboard.
Win XP installs fine when i connect this HD via ide33 cable, but not with UDMA66 cableThe udma66 channel works on all other formats of windows.
I have clean installed with the 2k ver 1.28 htp366 driver....and windows XP installs but when i reboot, the system locks up during (verifying pool data)
SPECS:
AWARD MODULAR BIOS v4.51PG
GREEN AGP/PCI/ISA SYSTEM
AWARD PLUG AND PLAY BIOS EXTENSION v1.0A
08/24/1999-i440BX-w83977-2A69KA1UC-MU
I have been informed that I may have to update my bios to (th)
Please if possible could anyone advise me which bios program to use and how to update it.
One possibility could be that I have noticed on startup, I have an AGP voodoo3 card taking up IRQ 11 the same as the controllers! (although windows reports no conflicts)
Would anybody know if i can assign a different irq for this in the bios and how?
I would be greatfull for any assistance.
Thank you in advance
