Do you have the IDE ports disabled (PRI if nothing is on it)
and the boot sequence correct in the BIOS?  Those boards have
a pretty particular BIOS.  Try setting the boot sequence to
EITHER or BOTH: first boot device "other device" and or "SCSI
controller" or similar controller may be listed.

I have a Dell system with a new Promise Ultra TX2 133 card
attached to a 30
gig Maxtor ATA 133 hard drive with XP installed.

XP just sits at the black screen with the progress bar running
and running,
but it never finishes, it sat like that for 10 minutes before
I rebooted.

Are the MS drivers for the card preferred over the Promise
drivers or vice
versa?

Or is there another solution altogether?

The motherboard is an Intel Seattle 440BX.
