Does Anyone Here Have A Gigabyte GA-8IHXP?

I just put my system together, and for some reason, i get a "not compatible hardware" error when i try to install the intel ide drivers. This is on a gigabyte 8ihxp/p4 2.26. I already installed the chipset inf. Any ideas?

Also, who actually got the usb controllers installed correctly?

Thanks,
 
Did you get the infs for the 850 chipset? Have you tried the Intel Application Accelerator drivers?
 
Yeah the inf is intalled. The application drivers will install as well. The error message i get says i need a 800 compatible chipset, and i obvisouly have an 850e.
 
The application drivers are the new IDE drivers, you have to uninstall them to install the older version.
 
I dont have them installed currently, i reformatted, and at this point only the chipset infs are installed.
 
That is not normal. You can't have both, but if you don't have the IAA's installed the 620's should install no problem. Definately a wierd problem. Have you tried downloading them again to see if they were corrupted?

At worse case you can always just run the IAA's, they are the drivers Intel recommends and is going to continue to support anyway.

Sorry, couldn't be of more help.
 
Damn...that kinda pisses me off. Could it be possible that the motherboard dosent support it? Never had this problem on any of my other computers.
 
Just curious, but why are you wanting to use the legacy drivers? Are they faster? I haven't even bothered to try them since the IAA 2.2's came out. But I couldn't measure any difference and it didn't "feel" any different. Tell you what does feel different is I just switched to NTFS and man is it slower than FAT32. I get pauses on opening I never use to get. If there was an easy way to switch back like the convert command I probably would.
 
You can use something like partition magic to switch back, thats pretty easy. It seems that my transfer rate to my second drive is really slow, 15/15, where as before it was 35/35. Oh well id like to know why i cant install it though, i cant find a support number for gigabyte...
 
This is a requirement for those 620 IDE drivers.

Intel(R) 82801AA, 82801AB, or 82801BA I/O Controller Hubs.

What controller do you have? The gigabyte page doesn't list one of those chips as a controller for that board, but it might just not have listed it. Go check your device manager and see if you have one of those controller hubs. This may be the problem.
 
Hmm...i think i might have an idea, does this make sense? My board uses the intel 82801DB driver, the drivers support "82801BA, 82801AA, 82801AB" it also goes on to say it only supports "810e, 815e, 820e." Is this accurate?

Also my c drive gets about 35/35 as is now, and my d drive is only getting 18/18, what up with that?
 
WOW...Great minds do think alike, i didnt see your post...looks like we have an answer. Thanks for your help.
 
Thats funny how things like that work. I see it all the time here on the boards. Where people will post the same thing at almost the exact same time. Its kind of cool.

Yeah your stuck with the IAA's. If you install the IAA's you can go into the program and see what mode your d: is running at.
 
Not sure, if your running XP (assumed) then it bumps it one notch down because of CRC errors when transferring from that drive. (Might of done it twice if your drive was a ATA100). Check and see if it really has been bumped down though.

If it has, it might be the cable that its on or the device that its connected to or the drive might be failing.

I remember a thread were someone had this problem and I don't remember how they solved it. Might of been uninstalling the IDE drivers and reinstalling them or it might of even been a reload. But I don't know how to stop XP from downgrading if it keeps getting errors.
 
Ignore last post...........😀

What is that drive connected too? Try physically disconnecting the device its chained to and see if your performance improves. If not then I am clueless.
 
LOL...get this, now that i installed the iaas, my speed on c is down to about 19/19, and its the same on d.
