Hard Disk Controller
The installation of Vista get stopped during the compatability check and I
get the message that I need to get updated driver software for these devices: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers - Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller. I found the drivers installed and put them where I could point the program at them to no avail. I've tried to find updated drivers but could not find anything. My MOB is a Supermicro but that site does not seem to have them or I don't recognize them when I see them. I'm running XP-Pro +SP2 on a Pentium 4 with a Gig of RAM. I have 2 Maxtor Hard Drives on the system. Would appreciate any direction towards solving this problem. I've searched the Vista newsgroups and have found nothing that would help. TerryS |

You're looking for Chipset drivers. You didn't include a mb model so I
couldn't find them. You may have to extract them from the driver download. Not knowing anything about your mb I can only guess and your chipset number but maybe an "Intel 915G" chipset number is what you're looking for. Plug in the mb model and it will tell you. Bob S.

Sorry, I meant to include the mb model. It's p4SGA+. I think I've found
what I need on the Supermicro site. I get the 845GE chipset. I've dl'ed the indicated update and will try it. Thanks for your help Bob. I really didn't have a clue about what I needed. Maybe I can now get rid of some of this frustration and get on with installing Vista. TerryS ---------------------------------------------------------- "BobS" wrote in message ...
