Yes because there are incompatibilities with IBM Deskstar drives and HPT366 v 1.25. Goto www.highpoint-tech.com and download the 1.28 BETA drivers.
also the readme says: 1.25 should be fine
Last Updated: 10/10/00
VERSION: FIX:
1.26b IBM DTLA (GXP75) series, ATA-100 drive compatibility with HPT366 controller (for Win98)
1.28b IBM DTLA (GXP75) series, ATA-100 drive compatibility with HPT366 controller (for Win2K, NT)
Notes:
1) BIOS version 1.25 should be adequate for either of the above updates, but we recommend matching the
HPT366 driver revision (or higher) with the corresponding BIOS version. BETA BIOS updates for PCI
cards utilizing the HPT366 are posted on this website. Visit the manufacturer's web or FTP sites for
motherboard/HPT366 combinations.
