Finding the DRivers from the install CD?

[Amor]

In the book that came with this mobo, it told me to look in: D:\Other\ite_raid\drivers\ for the gigaradi ata raid controller drivers.

Is there anywhere else I can find these drivers and why has Microsoft not taken it upon themselves to fix this nuisance?

Yes there is, however you didn`t post your motherboard brand & model,so I can`t direct you to the right site for the correct drivers .

GA-k8nspro Sorry about that .

Drivers for your board.

I downloaded those drivers, but for some reason am unable to completely copy them onto my floppy disk.

I guess this will turn out to be another hair pulling situation. If anyone knows how to help me plz do.


gigabyte k8nspro. Drivers to make the floppy for use with the f6 feature of windows xp.

run the exe, it will create two folders, pick the relevant one, then copy that over, either should fit.

Any idea how to find an Exe file when they don't have any marked as an exe file?

under the link mem posted there is "ITE ide gigraid driver" or the silicon image sata raid. I would assume one of those is what your are looking for, both are exe's, both extract to folders. Under the ITE all you need ot copy would be with win2k/xp folder which is 33k, the sata one forms two folders, 1 for raid 1 for not raid, copy the appropriate one.

ITE would be used if you are running a pata raid
the silicone image would be used if you are running sata raid

I did actually run those and had the files extracted to my computer files. I have already attempted the download of the win xp part to the floppy and used it on the new system to no avail.

what happened when you tried? Did xp recognize them and not find a drive? did it not find drivers on the flopy?...
