Should I not install ide busmaster from 4 in 1 on Win 2000?

[smp]

I heard that I shouldn't install the ide busmaster, and win 2k told me that it's not microsoft approved or whatever and that it's not garaunteed to work with win2K.. is this true? So I should just install 4.28, but tell it not to install the ide busmaster? thanks.

Mosdef, that's what I heard. I have promise ata100 controller drivers.. but I used those on installation.. would those make up for the busmaster drivers? What exactly is busmaster anyways?

Oh please, someone please.. I'm surfing the forums here at 16 colours and a screen res of 800 x 600.. NIGHTMARE!!! I want to install these 4 in 1's so I can get on with those awesome ATI drivers ().. sound card etc.. thanks.

Not every system is hosed with the 4-1 driver. I say check this link and download the new one and give it a shot. Basically it just limits your ATA-100 to 66 if it doesn't work. HTTP

hmm. yeah, I guess I need service pack 2.. service pack means that OS IS SUCK!!! Man NT is a good OS.. (not based on my service pack = is suck logic though )

I believe the 4.28 IDE drivers were the problem ones, and they are fixed in 4.29.
