I'm setting up NT4 server on an Asus K7M Motherboard. The K7M uses AMD 751 Northbridge chipset with a VIA 686A southbridge. When I try to install NT4 it can't see the HD using the standard PCI IDE driver. I tried using VIA's driver from their website, but it won't work. I think the driver is for improving IDE performance in NT4. Where can I find a driver that will allow me to see the HD? I'm thinking NT4 is having problems seeing the IDE controller on VIA's 686A southbridge chipset.

Nevermind.... Turns out somone didn't properly jumper the drive. I ASSUMED that since I could see it in DOS that it was okay. The drive was jumpered as a master with slave with no slave present. Jumpering to master as a single drive fixed the problem. I thought it was pretty funny that DOS could see it, but Windows NT 4.0 couldn't during the setup.
