Dang, I forgot how to fix this.

I had a problem several years ago and now have it again reloading my machine. I can't remember how to fix it.

I have a KT7-RAID motherboard with 2 hard drives and 2 CDROMs (one is a CDRW) on the HPT 370 controller. When I reloaded my machine with XP. I added the 4in1 drivers (I normally don't). The problem is all my drives are showing up as SCSI. My CD burning software can't detect my burner now and the SMART software for detecting HD failuers won't detect the Hard Drive. I had this problem before and can't remember how to fix it. Do I need to remove the 4in1 Drivers? I'm pretty sure I fixed it before so they drives showed up as reguler IDE.

Any suggestions?

    The HPT 370 doesn't support having cdroms on there. XP has the default HPT drivers already ,so you don't have to use F6 during the install unless you are using a modded bios. 4n1's have nothing to do with the Controller Card.
    Make sure you are using a newer bios 64 and up if compatible with XP. Here is a good link Paul's Faqs

    You're right. The CDROMs are on the normal IDE connectors. They do show up as SCSI devices. That's why I thought the 4in1's were to blame. I'm not at that PC right now, though. When I get home I'll boot it up and take another look. How do I remove the 4in1's?

    Thanks

    Just rerun them and you can uninstall them from there. At least put the AGP ones on there. I've run XP on my KT7A-Raid since it came out. I run SCSI cdroms so I use aspi. I have one IDE cdrw but it doesn't show SCSI . I haven't clean installed since November so the via drivers are old.

    I have KT7 RAID (only two HDs on HP though) I have my two CDs and ZIP drive on IDE 1 and 2, HDs on HP IDE - works fine.

    I have been trying to reinstall XP but it fails each time - due to my video card I THINK. See Other Thread

    Right now I have a Gainward G4 TI4200 GS that I THINK is giving me the trouble.

    I USED to have a Voodoo5 5500 AGP and XP installed fine with it several times.

    Anyone know a cheap card that WILL work on a KT7 RAID to install XP????????????

    I have that exact setup and have not experienced this problem before. I have not installed the 4in1 drivers in XP, but I did in win2k.

    **Edit
    Ooh, my bad. I have the KT7-100, not the RAID.

    Check your BIOS. I was looking at the list of fixes in the latest version for the KT7 and it specifically mentions the TI4200.
