TH7-RAID - and winXP

[Immuno]

Hi,

Sorry if I'm asking questions that were covered "years ago".

I recently picked-up a couple of boards, a TH7-Raid and a TH7II-Raid - they both work very nicely thanks

The TH7II outperforms the much newer Asus P4PE!

My specific problem is getting the highpoint 370 chip recognized by windows XP, I've re-flashed the mobo bios. This apears to include a bios upgrade for the 370 chip to ver 2.34 - which I can access through <ctrl> H during boot-up. I've downloaded the most recent drivers from the Abit site AND the Highpoint site - but XP steadfastly refuses to accept the driver inf files (citing age - "windows 95 or older"!).

I'm I missing something - or am I flogging a dead horse?

TIA

Pete

.... OK - belay that question!

Oddly, it eventually did it via the install device from list, have disk route.... Had to do it that way for all three boards.

Oh, well - works now
