System Restore Quits

[Treeman]

Looks like SP2 installed it's own drivers for my onboard Highpoint Rai
372 Controller.
Now no system restore. 'MS KB 322246
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322246)
I downloaded the new drivers for this old Soyo P41 fire Dragon mobo t
fix this. The readme.txt file that came with the drivers has m
confused. It says to install the drivers without the drives attached.


Here's an excerpt from the readme.txt file v2.32 :
When installing HPT370/370A/372 controller on an existing Windows X
system, Windows XP will try to install its HPT370 driver first; thi
may cause
system hang when you are using new features the driver don't support.
To avoid this problem, you shall update the driver first with "n
drives
attached" to HPT370/370A/372 controller, shutdown the system, attac
the
drives, then start the system again.

Maybe they mean the first time you use the raid controller.
I'm going to try renaming SP2cab to SP2cabold, updating in devic
manager to .ver2.32, reboot, then rename SP2cabold back to SP2cab.
(renaming SP2cab keeps SP2 from putting back it's drivers)
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Treeman

Bump, Anyone

Promise controllers are the same. Install the drivers for the Highpoint
controller without any hdd drives attatched to the controller card. Reboot
then attatch drives.

If boot drive is attatched the controller card then press F6 during POST to
load the drivers.
