20 Most Recent Promise Ultra133 TX2 ATA Controller Questions & Answers

1) Flash the BIOS to the latest one. It's here.

2) Use this driver which is the newest one. Here.

This should fix your issue.

Well, first of all, the card only supports 2 drives from what I see... and secondly, the card doesn't do RAID either. This is the spec sheet that I made the determination from... http://www.promise.com/marketing/datasheet/file/Ultra133tx2DS_v3.pdf. If I'm mistaken about what the device is, please provide more information about the card that you have. If I have the correct card, then unfortunately you'll have to get another card. If you'll tell me what your technical requirements and financial restrictions are, maybe I can give you some advice on what to purchase.

Check that your RAID controller and onboard SATA controller aren't in a compatibility mode. You can put them in this mode while you have no SATA driver installed in Windows.

This tricks Windows into seeing the SATA drives as regular IDE drives. Your BIOS then has a spasm when it see's another IDE controller there, and just uses the card instead.

Make sure the SATA drivers are installed first, otherwise anything SATA will stop showing up. (and your Windows just won't boot if it's on a SATA disk and you take compatibility mode off) =-]

I don't think you can boot off of the ATA-133 so you will have to boot off of the IDE on the mobo and have the DVD drive jumpered cable select on the 2nd IDE. Boot that way to make sure the system boots. Shut down. Then instll the ATA-133 adapter with NO DRIVES on it and boot. The system should ask you for drivers for the new hardware. Intall the drivers. Shut down. Attach the new drives to the ATA-133. Reboot. You still might have to go into admin in windows and assign drive letters to the new drives. Anyway, if you are trying to boot off of a drive on the ATA-133 adapter, I don't think you can do it. I have mostly used Asus boards with Award Bios and there was no way to point the boot process to an add-on ATA Controller.

if worse comes to worse. put the hard drives on external 3.5 cases.. i had this card i did a firmware update on it for some cdrom issue. bought it in 2000

Since you tried, call credit card company and place charge is dispute. they will pull money back from company and hold until settled. I would not settle except for refund. I the company wants item back tell them as soon as you receive a prepaid shipping label you will send back. Demand a RMA number. Experience is is an expensive teacher.

I'm not sure what you mean by contact details are 0731767523 but you should never give your bank account details out to anyone over the internet to a company unless it's a company you've used before and can trust. However, being that you have already done this I suggest contacting the better business bureau and filing a complaint, then asking your bank about disputing the charges.
