Yeah i have the exact same problem.
Im using the newest drivers but i havent bios upgrade yet.
I tried to do i bios update but the i was forced the select the eeprom the card is using and i dont know the name of it.
Do you have any suggestions??

Is your HPT370 controller an add-on card or is it built onto your motherboard?
 
If it's an add-on card you'll need the BIOS flash that comes with the drivers (I can't really help with that since I don't have one). If it's built onto your motherboard (mine is), you'll need a BIOS update from your motherboard manufacturer which has the relevant HPT BIOS in it.

Well it took 3 hours using this new driver for system trash, I bought the Abit board o Friday and today I loaded XP PRO for the 4rth time, figuring out driver issues, and do's and don'ts!!!
 
I have XP's CD burning working at 1/2 speed 8X(Yahmaha 16-10-40)
I have ATi Radeon 64 VIVO working, Half-Life and the DVD functions
in both the ATi and Windows Player
I have my Logitech QuickCam Pro working
and the HotPoint controller with XP drivers, all runs well except
once in awhile my mouse gets jerky, like the XP is 'feeling' its resources out.
What I need going in my Mustek 1200CP scanner, so if any one knows
how please help me!!!
