Installing XP with BE6-2

[Shorty28]

I tried installing XP for the first time last night, but it would not let me because of my highpoint controller drivers...Can I download compatible ones, or do I have to change to the ATA33 controller?

Goto www.highpoint-tech.com and get the latest drivers and extract them onto a floppy disk.
During the initial installation of XP, you gotta press F5 (or was it F7) when it asks if you want to install SCSI drivers or something. Insert the disk, and it should recognize the drivers and you should be good to go. This also applies if you're trying to install W2k.

That is strange...

I know you said BE6-2 but since they made a BE-6 II v1 and a BE-6 II v2 I am not sure what model you are really talking about.

I recently installed WinXP on a BE-6 II v1 that I wanted to test.... worked just fine, without the F6 setup!
