I'm in the process of building a new computer, and I puchased this to use for my old ide drives. I installed the drivers for the card off of the site, and windows recognizes it fine. The problem that I am having is that windows fails to boot (not even the splash screen) once I plug a single drive into the controller (the led display on my evga 680i reads FF, so I know its not motherboard issue). I have booted up the computer using a gparted live cd, and it is able to see the drives fine (no raid is being used btw, its JOBD), so I'm assuming windows is doing something weird. Any tips would be great.
oh, btw, I have also tried the card in different pci slots with no success.
