I followed YOUR advice.
I clearly stated REPEATEDLY it was an OEM first release 
Win 98 CD and that documents failed to supoort your claim
the Ultra66 I/O card had hardware ATAPI support.
The Promise web site makes no such claim.

In a previous post I scrolled past, you inquired as to what
happened between when the hard drive worked and then was
failed to be recognized. 

I followed YOUR advice and "installed Windows first."
That's what wrecked the drive.
I've TRIED dropping the thread but you insist on accusing me
of making mistakes by following your advice precisely.

That is MOST annoying in my present circumstances,
I was feeling pretty damned good prior to following your advice.

-> Seems your _biggest_ (but probably not your only) mistake
-> was turning loose that CD of Win98FE on a 65GB HDD. And just
-> who, other than yourself, told you _that_ was a good idea? 

You, none other than YOU.
Your were repeatedly informed of precisely what software and drive
capacity you had here yet you e-mailed me "your caution borders on
paranoia."

_> Maybe

Maybe seems to be indicative of your advice in general.
I've tried to stop replying to you but you insist on
claiming my followuing YOUR advice was MY mistake.

If you don't know what you're talking about perhaps you
ought not offer advice?

-> your Win98 version automatically runs FDISK in every install,
-> maybe not. Maybe it ran FDISK because it didn't like your
-> partition setup?  No matter now, it did.  I plead innocent on
-> that one, since I didn't learn that drive someone mailed to you
-> was 65GB until _after_ you had a farkeled drive on your hands.    


Utterly UNTRUE.
I repeatly e-mailed that FACT alone with the fact is was a win 98
first release.

-> Another theory seen here (and embraced by you) is that the running of
-> FDISK without permission was because it was an HP OEM CD.  I don't think
-> I learned it was a HP custom version until after your HDD got farkeled,
-> either.    

The fact you don't think so doesn't qalter FACTS.
I repeatedly addressed these issues, you EXACT response was 
"you caution is borderline paranoia."
