IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45 gig 7200rpm under XP on a Epox 8K7A, H
This is a discussion about IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45 gig 7200rpm under XP on a Epox 8K7A, H in the Windows Hardware category; I know when i had the HD on my Abit BE6 which used the HPT366 chipset I had to use the crappy 1. 28beta drivers because of problems with the IBM drivers. Will this still be a problem on my new mobo?.

There seems to be a problem with the 75GXP series of drives from IBM. Hope you're not affected
I have a BE6 also. When I tried to upgrade to XP it spit out a report saying the Highpoint HPT366 controller PROHIBITS me from upgrading. i think I'm gonna have to buy a new mobo and processor setup. AAARRRG!!
OP
no the trick is to put the HDs on the udma-33 ports till XP is installed and then switch them to the udma-66 and XP will install highpoint drivers
PR-Man:
I did what you suggested and was still unable to upgrade my Win98 SE system. The system kept finding the HPT controller every time no matter where I had the HDD connected. I was, however, able to install to my D: partition.
Since I was able to install to a separate partition on the same system shouldn't I have been able to upgrade my main Win98 SE c: partition?
Somewhat confused,

Ah I thought you were doing a fresh install
