The HPT is very flakey in its performance with Win2K/XP, especially when overclocking is in the picture.

My system boots when hdisks are attached to the HPT - but, it does not allow then to be used under WinXP.

I advise you to put the boot drive alone (Maxtor?) on the Promise channel1. Then double up two devices (M/S) on Promise CH2.
Then put the leftovers on BP6 IDE1/2.
