IDE 3 on P4I 845PE

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.soyo (More info?)

What operating system are you using? The Highpoint conntroller will only
support IDE hard drives. It will not support ATAPI devices.

If your not using the Highpoint for the boot drive, you should only have to
enable the controller in the BIOS and install the driver for the operating
system your using.

If your using it as the boot drive on a WinXP system you would need to
install the Highpoint XP drivers from a floppy drive durning WinXP setup.
Also you would need to set the first boot device in the BIOS to SCSI.
