sata pci card for vista
Hi guys,
I got a cheap sata pci card for my hdd and dvdrw but it is giving me problem during installation of vista. When vista ask for the sata card driver I point to the floppy disk with my sii sata card driver (possibly sii3112) but Vista keep saying it is not compatible. I downloaded this driver sii web site where it says vista driver. anyway, my question is, do you know any sata pci card that vista knows and installs the driver for it? I am looking for cheaper sata cards for my home computer. thanks Cemal |

Hi Cemal,
Your existing card should probably work. Without knowing the exact model of your card, I cannot confirm this. Try using the driver currently on Windows Update during installation. You can search for the driver package using the Microsoft Update Catalog. http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/...spx?q=SII+3112 If you can plug the device into another system and get the hardwareIDs (devmgmt.msc -- device properties -- details tab -- "Hardware IDs" and "Compatible IDs"), the exact driver for you device can be found.

When vista ask for the sata card driver I point to the floppy disk with my sii sata card driver (possibly sii3112) You can't guess. Identify the chip that the card uses, and obtain the Vista driver for it. but Vista keep saying it is not compatible.
