Last time I checked, XP has drivers for the HPT370 on it. I didn't have any problems with it working properly, but then again I haven't had problems with Via either.
OP
ok.I change my HD from raid to IDE(ide is the ata 100 compatible) but my problem still occur...where may be the a mistake? i don't know where is the problem now....mouse is still stopping and system freeze for a while ...for example when I play video file a I play mp3, the the mp3 is scrathig:-)....who can help me?
hana, may it be your dma not enabled for your ata/100 channels
probably looks like that
d/l taskinfo : http://www.tweakfiles.com/diagnostic/taskinfo2000.html
n monitor your system
when u do big file transfers from hd or to hd check cpu usage, normally it shouldn't use more than %10 cpu, if it does like %40 or more for sure your dma is not enabled. If that's your problem it's easy u can enable dam from device manager - ide ata/atapi controllers.
also sometimes hpt controllers have dma problem too, normally by default dma is enabled with them , n no menu to disable it but sometimes somehow dma may be disabled for hpt370 too n the only way to enable it is flash a different bios as I know
hope helps

Make sure your HPT driver matches the bios level for your motherboard. I ran across the same thing and had to go back to the
HPT driver 1.03b1 to match the SA6R bios and my problems disappeared
HPT driver 1.03b1 to match the SA6R bios and my problems disappeared
I have the exact same problem, and have made a post about it too. I am interested to see any more replies on this.
Well...after re-flashing my BIOS to 1.03b, and reinstalling the 1.03b drivers....everything SEEMS to be working!!!
I'm quite happy...mouse is smooth and MP3s play properly.
