Hi, installed a Diamondmax Plus 9 200 GB harddisk in my pc. Its connected to
the Promise ATA133-controller, this is what I see when starting the pc:

MBU Ultra (PDC20276) (tm) BIOS version 2.20.1020.13
(c) Promise Technology Inc. All right reserver

00 Maxtor 6Y200P0 LBA 189GB Ultra DMA6
01 Not detected
02 Not detected
03 Not detected

IDE Bus Master Enabled

But I cannot install XP. It says that there is no storagedevice detected.

How can I have this harddisk work with the XP installation?

Try putting it on the builtin IDE channels - the first two not the
Promise. Install WIN XP then move it to the Promise.

I think WIN XP gives you an option to load external drivers for any
IDE which may work. I forget the exact procedure. Sometimes it works
and sometimes it didnt for me.

Try to use the Slipstreamed version with the update in WIN XP.
The pre-service pack 1 version I think had problems with larger than
XXX gig disks.
