Are you referring to the Promise controller card? It is
not installed. Otherwise, I am unsure which controller
it's got and I don't have any driver disks for it.
I should install the promise card then? I saw this
response and thought it might solve the problem before but
had the same questions I do now about the Promise card.
The MB is and Asus 450mhz, PII.
thx
