I've also got a HPT-366 on a BE6 and one IBM hard drive. I can't help you with the first problem but I initially got the same error as you you did on your second attempt. The problem was I had installed with the hard drive optimisation option on. Installing with it off resulted in no problems. Afterwards you can turn on DMA etc with hdparm and I am not having any problems so far. -- P.bone email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
