My machine has two hard disks, one IDE one SCSI (using an Promise Ultra 133
TX2). It runs XP installed on the IDE drive and everything works fine (i.e.
I can access all partitions on all drives).
I want to install a second copy of XP for testing purposes, and want it to
reside on a partition on the (large) SCSI drive.
I use the latest (2.00.0.43) drivers from Promise, but when I install XP and
press F6 (identifying I want to use a SCSI driver other than the one XP
comes with), the system hangs after I select the driver. XP reports that the
driver (on my floppy disk) is newer but suggests to use Microsoft's driver
nevertheless. Even if I accept that suggestion, the system hangs too.
