Shrink: Are you talking about the ATA66 controller? If so... Did you have to install the drivers before connecting the HD to the Future ATA connector?

Yep - the drivers need to be installed first (if you are saying that you installed XP using the regular Intel controller and want to switch it over to the ATA66 controller). Otherwise, you need a disk containing the hpt drivers and run a repair install after moving the hard drive to the ata66 controller.
 
In my case, I installed XP clean and, like in Win2k, had the driver disk and pressed F6 after the first reboot so that I could choose to install the hpt drivers.

Does installing winxp on my E partition affect this hpt366 process/error? Right now, I put the winxp cd in while in winme, click new install, then i reboot, hit f6, have the newest highpoint drivers on floppy, and go through the install. When I see the logo screen for the first time, it eventually goes away and i get the hpt366 error. I am wondering if my WINME installation on my C:\ may be doing this? When it asks for a directory (while running setup in winme) to copy files to, it is defaulted to //windows .
 
Any ideas?

If you are installing to a separate drive (making sure that when you start the setup.exe from WinME that you select New Installation and under Advanced choose that you want to choose the drive or partition onto which you will install XP) then there shouldn't be a problem. The newest hpt drivers, from my experience, just caused crashes. The ones that didn't were the 1.23 and 1.26 drivers. The 1.28 drivers crashed during setup. I would use the 1.23 drivers. Good luck!
