mystery IDE storage controller and driver
Howdy all, I searched all over the net and can't seem to find any info on my problem. I got a blue screen about a week ago caused by something with my Graphics card(during the blu screen I was able to read something about graphic memory dump I believe) This makes sense, as I had just clicked to exit NWN2(the game that came bundled with the card). Anyway, ever siscne that, it has booted slowly (spends about a full minute on the post screen, and some time with the scrolling line). That is unless I unplug the computer for a few minutes, then it boots as it did before. So after alot of digging and reinstalling of all available drivers from Gigabyte and Nvida and nothing has helped from that, so I decided to do the "upgrade" trick. So I uninstalled SP1, and ran the upgrade. It told me that These issues do not prevent your upgrade, but some applications and/or devices might not work once your upgrade completes. - Storage controllers: A441Y0U9 IDE Controller I thought this to be a bit strange, but figured that the upgrade would smooth things out. Later, when the upgrade was nearing completion, I got an error saying that one or more devices could not be configured. I tried this twice. So, I tried to do some research into my IDE storage contoller. The IDE storage controller driver shows no signature or provider name in Everest or Device Manager. I tried automatically updating the driver and Windows said that it could not locate a driver for my product. I searched the internet for some reference to this type of problem, or for some reference to a driver available for download with absolutely no luck. So, should my IDE storage contoller have a digitally signed driver? and if so, from whom? Any other ideas?

mystery IDE storage controller and driver
I cracked it. Looking around, I was able to eventually find information similar to Andy's (thanks for your post!). It dawned on me that the card reader I had installed a few weeks previously accessed one of my IDE ports. So I disconnected the reader and uninstalled the ide driver via task manager and voila! problem solved. I was able to upgradeand everything is working perfectly. I hope this helps some other people. -Choupa -- cholupa2 |

mystery IDE storage controller and driver
As an update to those of you, like I, that found this post via a Google search for "Random IDE Controller:" I was in the middle of upgrading Vista Home Premium 32bit to Windows 7 when the installer told me I needed to update the drivers for my IDE drive. Well, I don't have any IDE drives, and my IDE controller is disabled in bios, so I found that strange. Looking in device manager, under Storage Controllers I found an IDE controller with a strange 8 character name ADO4JJV IDE Controller. I deleted it, rebooted, and it returned with another random 8 character name. I did some Google searches & found out that it was actually created by Alcohol 120%. I uninstalled Alcohol & viola! It was gone immediately. So if you're having this problem, & you have Alcohol 120%, or Deamon Tools installed just uninstall before upgrading to Windows 7 & you'll be all set! -- whiskyrox |
