I have tried to install 7.2 using both the new driver and it gives me the same problems. It freezes just after finishing formatting the last partition. (When I look at terminal 4) I will try to use the old driver tonight. It seems that the driver gets inserted correct but at some point I noticed that I gave an error on terminal 4 (or was it 3). Something like "FastTrak: IRQ request timed out" two times. But formatting and testing proceeds without any problems until the end of formatting. I think I 'll try to install a W2k server on the box, just to test the hardware functionality.
