Highpoint HPT366 Ultra DMA Controller blocks XP update

[GaryB]

I am trying to upgrade from Win98 to XP Home and the
install stopped because of my SCSI hardware. I have XP
drivers, but do not know how to apply them without XP
being installed first. Is there any way around this, or do
I have to get a different motherboard?
-Any advise would be appreciated.

The HighPoint Technologies HPT366 Ultra DMA 66 Controller
is not compatible with Windows XP. If you had run the Upgrade
Advisor, it would have been flagged.
