Well I finally got my system up and running well, and fixed every little minor driver issue except two. In the device manager, Windows XP still sees two floppy drives but I have disabled the extra floppy. Also, device manager shows 3 IDE controllers with 3 primary IDE channels and 3 secondary IDE channels when there should really only be 1 of each. Due to an earlier corrupted disk on my first boot and some forum recommendations, I did not load any NVIDIA ide drivers yet.
So I have these questions for you guys:
1) How many of you are running Windows XP from an IDE drive and have successfully installed the nvidia ide drivers? How many won't go near the nvidia IDE drivers?
2) Does everyone have this extra floppy drive in device manager or is it just my motherboard?
3) Does anyone else have multiple IDE controllers and multiple primary and secondary IDE channels when there should only be one of each?
Here is my system:
A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 90mm
MSI 6600GT PCIe
Enermax EG495P-VE
512MB Muskin PC3200 RAM
Windows XP SP2
Any input will be appreciated,
