Via Bus Master IDE Drivers install problem

[TheEconomist]

I've finally upgraded to Windows XP Pro (from WinMe...ugh), and everything went smoothly. I hadn't updated the 4-in-1 drivers for my Via motherboard for quite a while, and I'd heard that the newer ones had superior AGP performance, so I thought I'd give them a try. Everything seems to work fine, but WinXP keeps telling me that the "Via Bus Master IDE Drivers" need to be installed (it detects them as a device), and it can't find a driver for them--not on the WinXP CD, not on among the files that came with the 4-in-1 update, and not even on the original CD for my motherboard (it's a Shuttle AK31A, a KT266a board). Anyone have any suggestions? Should I just ignore the problem, since everything seems to be working? It sure does annoy me, though, knowing that something may be wrong...

Never mind, I installed the IDE miniport driver (even though I shouldn't have to) and it solved the problem.
