Via 4-1

[Mort]

Hi,
I hope you can help wiyh this.
When I went to install the IDE Busmaster Driver by itself ,it asked me to choose between VSD VXD Driver or Miniport Driver.
I chose miniport and it installed an "IDE TOOL utility"
1: did it install driver also?
2: was this the right choice?
3: do you use this utility?

Thanks,
Mort

I think you made the right choice. But as for me, via's most recent busmaster drivers don't work because it recognizes all your ide drives as scsi, and that doesn't work for cdr's.

YES BUT MAKE SURE IT LOADED THE VIA AGP GART DRIVER( sorry for the caps) in device manager if not reinstall the proper one from the 4-in-1 folder... whereever you have it either from the cd rom or a download... good luck

Worked fine for my CD-R, says it's SCSI but burns just fine and dandy.

Hi,
Thanks for the input.
There is no reference to any Gart driver in device manager.
What heading would it be under?

PS: I have installed the complete 4 in 1 driver set.

Thanks,
Mort

Yeah I couldn't find that darn VIAGART.CAT or whatever file either.
Where's this little swine hiding?
