jdbeanie Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 I also get this error when try to setup the card as a normal controller. Again I have tried a number of differnet drivers to get around - alas no luckJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Try a different PCI slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac68 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Do you have Sp1 installed, I have been using this card for over 12 months and have never had a problem with it in Windows XP. In Windows 2000, I had the problems described here and the only way I could get around it was to reinstall Windows 2000 and press F6 at the start of the text phase of the install and install the drivers then.

jdbeanie Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 I certainly do have sp1 fow xp installed. I think I'll try Marsden option of a differnet PCI slot and then report back. I really don't want to have to rebuild JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hi!I've found the correct driver at the Silicon web site. The XP recognised my 0680 RAID controller. Try this link: http://12.24.47.40/display/2/kb/article.asp?aid=10020I downloded and installed the 0680a_rdrv1017.zip file.Seeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Ups, one more mark. After restart the Windows, it was terrible slow. Nearly unworkable. So be careful with this driver, is seems it is not as good as I thought.And, does somebody know, why it slows down the windows?Seeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
