Promise IDE Ultra100 OnBoard Driver ?
Hello,
I have an ASUS A7V266-E motherboard with a Promise IDE Ultra100 Controller on board. Two harddisks are connected to this controller. I run the Vista Upgrade Advisor Tool and it told me that there would be no problem installing Vista Ultimate ... so I bought the software ! During installation (32-bit version) the Setup displays that it would need a driver for this controller. However, neither at ASUS nor at PROMISE a Vista driver is available. Setup does not continue and I am not able to install and use Vista ...  ( !!!Does anyone know where to download a working driver or does anyone know a workaround for this issue ? Thanx alextp

Promise IDE Ultra100 OnBoard Driver ?
I have the latest 'stable' version i.e. 1011.
However, a beta-version A7V266-E Beta BIOS 1015.002 (dated 2003/08/14) is available ! Do you think this might help ?! "JW" wrote: Do you have the latest BIOS for your MOBO?

Promise IDE Ultra100 OnBoard Driver ?
I flashed the beta BIOS, but the problem is still the same ... !
Meanwhile I contacted the ASUS as well as the PROMISE support. PROMISE has not answered til now, but ASUS has: They say that the chipset manufacturer has to provde drivers as they do not provide and program drivers for second party products themselves. At the moment they cannot guarantee that there will be new drivers ... Great ... ( ... I am already thinking about buying a new motherboard !Regards, alextp "JW" wrote: It might but unless it has an update in support of its bulit in IDE controller it won't.

Promise IDE Ultra100 OnBoard Driver ?
Come now. This board is 5-6 years old now. It was archived by Asus three
years ago. I have one I put in my sons computer so he could use it with Windows XP. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

You may find you are pretty much out of luck here -- that's fairly old
technology there with that motherboard. Since you are running Vista 32, you *might* get away with this driver -- which works for XP: http://www.promise.com/support/downl...p?productId=18 &category=driver&os=100&go=GO -- Barry Schnur
