MHDD's manual mentions it works with "UDMA/RAID controllers integrated into motherboard as additional chip", but it doesn't seem to work on my HighPoint HPT374 on-board controller, even if the drive is not part of any array.. Is there any way to make it work?

I'm using the iso version so I can't use F10 for screenshot. I took a photo with my camera... apologies for the bad quality :p

I didn't have any drive on my motherboard's IDE connectors.
I had 2 drives connected to HPT374.

First, please update MHDD wth the last version. :-)

Then, please run mhdd and execute PCISCAN. Then I'd like to see the log produced by that command. (this is the log where every pci device is listed).

I'm using the 4.3 ISO from mhdd.com. I was wondering why it says 4.2 too...

Since I'm using the ISO version, I can't save the log anywhere, and since there's no text editor in the ISO I can't manually write down the whole thing either. "type" dumps the whole thing to screen and I can only see the last few lines. I saw these 2 lines with HPT in them:

HPT HPT374 01 04 1103 0008 C001 C401 C801 CC01 D001 0000
HPT HPT374 01 04 1103 0008 D401 D801 DC01 E001 E401 0000

Hope this helps. If not, please make an ISO with edit.com on it or something so I can write down the whole log. Thanks :)

Yes, it works fine now :)

By the way, AAM doesn't work on one of my drives, it gives a generic error message (something like "AAM failed, please check"). Is there a way to find out what's causing it?

I'm a bit surprised. AAM should work on this drive.

I would say it is just some funny kind of system area failure :-).

Yeah, I have another drive of the same model and AAM works fine on that one.

I'd say so too. This drive has been giving me intermittent problems. Time for RMA :D

Right, it is always better to RMA instead of trying to repair the drive :-)
New drive is much better than repaired one :-)
