It has been reported that on machines with the KT133A chipset (the KT7A and KT7A-RAID), a Soundblaster card, and a disk connected to the VIA IDE Secondary controller, the machine will hang when large amounts of data are transferred to or from the disk. The solution to this problem appears to be either to replace your sound card (!) or to install the VIA bus mastering driver separately and choose the miniport option (this is not available when installed from the 4in1 package). These are available here. Another user found that disabling \"Enhance chip performance\" in SoftMenu III solved the problem
More recently a user found that upgrading to BIOS 3R caused Windows to redetect the IDE devices and in the process resolved this problem
