Default Replaced SCSI adapter, system won’t boot.


In XP there was some file in the root of the C:\ drive that was simply a
renamed copy of the SCSI adapters driver and replacing it with the
appropriate file would have resolved this situation. I can’t remember
what that file was called in XP (NTsomething.sys I think) but it doesn’t
matter because it’s not the same in Vista.

I’m running Vista Ultimate upgraded to SP1. I fried my SCSI adapter
when I was working on my system and got careless. I have acquired a
replacement but it’s a totally different make and model. How can I
introduce the new driver to windows without reinstalling the whole OS?
I’m familiar enough with the Vista CD recovery tools and I’m no stranger
to the command prompt and regedit. I just don’t know enough about Vistas
guts to guess where to begin.

I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base and the web to no avail. I
reach out to you, my fellow newsgroup reader, in my hour of need!

Thank you for your time.
