How do I completely "REMOVE" a driver from the hard drive ???
I built a system for my brother a couple years ago with windows 95 and a Tyan LX motherboard. Since it was using Win95 I loaded the Tyan hard drive controller drivers. It has since been upgraded to Win98 but was still using the Tyan driver, which was fine until he installed a Philips 8x4x32 CDRW. For some reason we can't get the cdrw to work properly, the Adaptec software only recognizes it as a 4x cdrw and only produces errors and Nero can't even find it, but it reads cd's just fine. I'm pretty sure it's not the drive because I have a couple of the same drives that work fine in my systems but don't in his, one of my systems even has the same motherboard, we tried my drives in his system. He already flashed the cdrw bios, the motherboard has the newest bios avalible, I had him replace the Tyan hard drive controller driver with the standard windows Intel driver since that is what the Tyan web site recommends. The problem is that the Primary and Secondary channel drivers still say Tyan, only the main controller driver says Intel xxxxx driver and the cdrw still doesn't work right. The motherboard seems to recognize it correctly as a PIO mode 4 drive and windows device manager recognizes it correctly. Since the hard disk primary and secondary channels still reference as using a Tyan driver I am thinking that is the problem, but how do I get them out of the system, they didn't get replaced when he changed the to the Intel bus master driver and you can't remove the primary and secondary drivers seperately, only the main controller driver which he already did. There must be a way to get rid of them, in the registry ?? can I just get rid of any references to Tyan in RegEdit.
Please help
