SIIG Ultra ATA 133 PCI Card does not load properly in Win2K

I have a workstation with Win 2000 as an OS. Pentium II
400 mhz, 256 m ram.

I have installed a SIIG Ultra ATA 133 PCI card which has a
120GB Maxtor and 80GB Maxtor hard drive installed on it.

When I boot the machine, the bios loads fine, the two hard
drives are seen. When I choose Windows from the OS
screen, and the machine loads to a DOS Prompt, I can see
the two drives just fine, so I know the card and the slot
are working. When I boot and go into Win 2000, I know the
OS sees the hard ware. I have followed the installation
instructions for adding the Win2K drivers for the card,
but I cannot get Windows to recognize the two drives.

Control Panel Hardware, Devices shows the SIIG card, but
it has an exclaimation point on it. I cannot get the
system to recognize the card or the drives.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated

Maybe this will help you. I took this from the SIIG support website:

10) When the "Digital signing..." screen appears, click on Yes.

11) Click on Finish, then click on Close.
