is it something in the bios?? how do you get the two udma66 channels working????????????

ask not what you can do for your computer...
more what your
computer can do for you. *Hint Hint*
I had to boot the drive on the -33 channel, load the -66 drivers in windows, then shut down the computer and move the cables to the -66 channel...maybe that will help
the bios doesn't detect the drive even when on the -33 channel?
make sure that everything is configured correctly in the BIOS...check your jumper settings on the drive itself. it probably should be on master, but that depends on the layout of the system.
one weird note-on a recent system I built, the drive wouldn't be recognized until I put the drive on "cable select-CS"...
do you have windows installed on the drive? did the drive or your mobo come with drivers for the -66 channel?
if you don't have windows installed on that drive, load windows on the -33 channel, load the -66 drivers, shut down the computer, switch the cables back to the -66 channel, and it should work...if windows is installed, boot into windows with the -33 channel, load the drivers, then switch acables etc...
ok thanx alot man i'll try that.
tell you how it turns out
i'm gonna use the orignal hot rod66 drivers.
it sure is a wierd problem though
oh is it something to do with enabling the channels?? cos you can only enable or disable channel 1 and 2?? not 3 or 4

everything I have said came from my one experience with a udma-66 drive on a system that I built, i guess that the drivers have to loaded in order for you to enable the extra channels...good luck
