Can't get Adaptec Scsi to work on ASROCK

K_C · 7 Jul 2007 at 23:08

Hi,

I have an ASROCK 775TwinsHDTV-R2.0 and when I put my SCSI card in I can install XP but when I reboot it freezes on boot up. I have tried putting the card in the PCI-E slot and the standard PCI slot and it doesn't work in either.

When I don't boot from ther card but have the card installed I get something like "not enough space to copy PCI option rom"

Does anyone have experience of this?

Can any recommend a socket 775 board that will take a PCI-X SCSI card?

Thanks

i have only ever seen pci-x slots on servers. Think they are basically 64bit 66mhz pci slots.

The card will work in a standard PCI slot but I need to know the card will work on the motherboard I buy before I buy it.

Just wondered if other people had the same issues and want boards work with what SCSI cards?

I doubt the card will work in a normall pci slot, you need pci-x (not pci-e !) for it, like the Asus M2N32 WS Pro and the asus P5WDG2 WS Professional.
